REGISTRATION FOR 2020 -2021
IAR TESTING - 3RD - 5TH GRADERS
The Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) Assessment will be administered to students from April 1st through April 17th, 2020. Students in grades 3 through 8 will take tests in reading and mathematics. Additionally, students in grades 5 and 8 will take the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) during this same time period. Please keep in mind that while the testing window is open for several weeks, individual students will not be tested the entire time.
All of these assessments are required by the Illinois State Board of Education and will be administered to all eligible students.
Here's how you can help your child:
Make sure that your child attends school and is on time on testing days;
Make sure that your child rests and gets a good night’s sleep the night before the test (8-10 hours recommended);
Provide breakfast for your child on the morning of testing days (high protein; such as eggs, meat, or cheese);
Remind your child to ask the teacher questions if he/she does not understand the instructions of the test;
Tell your child not to worry about the tests and that you have confidence in their ability to do the best he/she can.
The schedule at Olson is for students to take 1 IAR test per day on the following mornings:
April 1, 2, 3, 7, 9. Other days will be used for make up testing.
Our 5th Graders will take the Illinois Science Assessment on April 14, 15, and 16.
