February also brings us ACT Aspire Winter testing. Measuring academic growth is important to keep your student on track for college and career readiness. The data we gain from these assessments allows us to make evidence based decisions when addressing your student’s strengths, areas for improvement, and growth targets. The data can also give you an early indication of your student’s likely readiness for the future, providing time to address areas where improvement is needed. Both in person and virtual learners will be administered assessments in Math, Reading and English. Stay tuned for more information.
With gratitude,
Ehren Miller, Mike Rosandich and Shannon Clark West
