Third grade has been picked to take a Pilot Math test. This one will be taken last as it does not count towards their ISTEP score, but is a Pilot test for the state to gather information to be used on the second round of ISTEP in April.
Our class is scheduled to take this Pilot Math test on Friday, March 11th from 12:05-12:45pm.
Prepare for ISTEP
Please make sure that your child comes to school on these days if they are healthy. If they are sick, I understand them missing school. Just know, they will be pulled out of instruction later in the week to make up the test they miss.
Students should get plenty of rest the night before testing days. It is very important for students to be well fed and rested on test days to ensure they perform at their best ability!
IREAD info to come!
Every child has to pass IREAD3 in order to move on to fourth grade. We have been working daily on IREAD material so they should be familiar.
We get test scores back around Spring Break. If a student did not pass IREAD3 the first time, we will be able to remediate for the rest of the year and they will take the test again at the beginning of the summer.
