NWEA TESTING WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY, JANUARY 18TH

NWEA testing will begin for all students Monday, January 18th. For the most part, students will be testing while they are here in the building and will have asynchronous lessons, which means lessons are built by teachers and posted on Schoology, while they are at home.


Week of January 18th - Math and Reading

Week of January 25th - Science and Language Usage


We know the pandemic has had an impact on learning. NWEA testing will provide insight as to what the impact has been and provides teachers with information to inform their instruction when working with both large groups and individual students. Parents can expect student growth reports to be sent home in early-mid February.
