Star 360 Math & Reading
How to complete, tips, & tricks...
Getting Started:
Here at ISWA, we want to ensure you are making academic growth throughout the year. The Star360 assessments (Math & Reading) will help in meeting those goals for you this year. We will be taking these assessments a few times in Homeroom. How many times you take the tests will be determined by when you started school at ISWA.
- Trimester 1 (starters): will take the tests 3x
- Trimester 2 (starters): will take the tests 2x
- Trimester 3 (starters): will take the tests 1x
This assessment *does not* factor into your grades or over-all GPA! It just gives all your teachers a chance to see where you might need some extra help, or where you have already mastered the content.
