TEACHING & LEARNING
ANNUAL STATE REQUIRED STUDENT TESTS
Illinois Assessment of Readiness (Grades 3-8) This assessment checks student achievement at grade level in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The test is two to three sessions of English Language Arts and two sessions of mathematics. Writing is a big part of the assessment as students have to write to explain their understanding of the reading passages and write to show their mathematical thinking.
The state test window is March 4- April 19. Each Principal will create their school-specific test schedule and share that with parents in March.
Illinois Science Assessment (Grade 5 and Grade 8) The ISA tests students' understanding of scientific principles. The assessment covers the scientific method and engineering standards across the areas of life, physical, and earth/space science topics. The test is made up of three sessions. The state test window is March 4- April 30. Principals will share information about the schedule for the science assessment with families of 5th and 8th graders.

NEW STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM COMING FOR THE 24/25 SCHOOL YEAR
District 33 is switching our digital Student Information System (SIS). We are moving from eSchoolPlus SIS to PowerSchool SIS. Home Access Center will be transitioned to PowerSchool Parent Portal making it easier for parents and students to monitor progress and attendance in a one-stop shop for all enrolled students in the same family.
PowerSchool SIS is the company’s flagship student information system that’s both flexible and easy to use. It will power our school-wide operations including state compliance reporting and data management. Student information systems are also used for scheduling, attendance, grade books, parent engagement, and more. All student data is secure within PowerSchool SIS, which undergoes regular audits and comes with a dedicated security team.
Please let us know if you have any questions about this transition. We will provide additional updates and information as we get closer to the start of the 24-25 school year.
We believe this switch will improve outcomes for students, families, teachers, and administrators.
