Dodgeland Middle School News

From Principal Johnson
It is hard to believe we are already this far into the school year! We have spring break upon us and then will be in our final quarter of the school year. With spring, also comes state testing to see how our students are performing in English Language Arts and Math, and also Science and Social Studies at 8th grade. This letter is being sent out to middle school parents this week to inform you of our state testing dates in April: Middle School State Forward Testing. Please know that a separate letter is being sent to parents of virtual only students and those students with a district-approved blended learning plan to coordinate testing on different days/times.
With each assessment that our students take, whether district or state assessments, we review students’ results to:
- Monitor individual student achievement,
- Analyze our instruction as it aligns to Wisconsin State Standards,
- Allow us to compare the results with other students across Wisconsin, and
- Provide data for meeting state and federal achievement guidelines.
We ask for your help as parents to simply encourage your child to do his or her best. Some children may become anxious about testing situations. Your encouragement and reassurance for your child to just do their best is helpful. A positive attitude goes a long way in making a child feel comfortable about being tested.
SPRING BREAK REMINDER!
