Manton Remote Students
Spring Assessments
We are not far away (April/May), where we will be asking all remote students to come in and take some assessments. This will be conducted after school hours and take multiple days. We will be assessed in the areas of math and reading. During this time, we will also look at your work completion and discuss the best option for your child for the following year.
