3rd grade M-STEP
This spring, every 3rd grade student will be taking our statewide assessment, called the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP). It will be given online and will measure current student knowledge.
The M-STEP will assess student learning on Michigan’s standards in Mathematics and English Language Arts.
The testing schedule for all 3rd grade classrooms is as follows:
May 10
English Language Arts (ELA)
Time: 10:15-12:30
May 16 & 18
Mathematics
Time: 10:15-12:30
Please try to avoid any appointments during these dates/times and your child is well-rested and has a good breakfast. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact me.
