MME Letter to Students/Parents
Spring 2023
February 16, 2023
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we approach spring in Michigan, state standardized testing is right around the corner. Per SLCS Board of Education policy, all juniors will be taking the Michigan Merit Exam (MME). This is a graduation requirement for all South Lyon Community Schools students. The MME includes three tests: the SAT with Essay, ACT WorkKeys, and M-STEP. The SAT may be used for college applications and admission requirements. While juniors are taking the MME suite of assessments, freshmen and sophomores will be participating in the PSAT 9 and PSAT 10. All 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students—including Novi Virtual students—will participate in these required tests and report to school in-person on their assigned testing days. This spring’s testing schedule is below.
In addition, 11th grade students will be taking the M-STEP on April 18th at both high schools. Also on April 18th, all 9th and 10th grade students will be taking both portions of the Spring NWEA Exam, while all 12th graders will be participating in the Career Fair. Please mark all of these important dates in your calendar. While doing so, please note that the April testing window begins almost two full weeks after students return from Spring Break. The SAT, ACT WorkKeys, and M-STEP testing is required for all 11th grade students, and PSAT testing is required for all 9th and 10th grade students. More information about testing schedules and senior activities will be shared in the coming weeks.
Please note: There will be no OSTC-SW classes on April 12th and April 13th. All 11th grade students will be excused from attending OSTC-SW classes on April 18th.
