Winter iReady Diagnostic This Week!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The second i-Ready diagnostic assessment is scheduled for students to take next week.
At Anderson, we will be taking the diagnostic for Reading and Math from December 6th through the 9th. Our teachers are proactive in helping to make this a positive and motivating opportunity for your child to simply "Show what they know". We certainly encourage all kids to simply do their best!
This is a mid-year check on how students are progressing towards their growth goal. Your school will provide you with more specific days as to when your child will take their assessments. After the diagnostic assessments, your child will receive an update to their lessons assigned under the personalized pathway (MyPath).
What should I know and expect as a parent/guardian?
Computer adaptive assessments are designed to determine what standards students know and don’t know yet.
Remind your child they will see questions they might not know the answer to and some easier questions. We need to know what they do know and do not know yet. This is expected.
The purpose of the i-Ready diagnostic is not to give your child a score or grade, but to determine how to best support their learning.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a partner in your child’s learning. We look forward to sharing information with you throughout the year. If you have any questions about i-Ready, please do not hesitate to contact me, your principal, or your child’s teachers. You can also learn more about i-Ready by visiting https://sites.google.com/d303.org/i-readyresources/home .
Sincerely,
David Chiszar
Executive Director of Assessment and Accountability
