ISTEP+ testing begins next week, for our fourth graders. Third graders finished up this week. This is our first year to have all parts of the test on computers. We will be using Chromebooks throughout all parts of testing. We are confident that our students are ready to show what they know, as we are looking for INDIVIDUAL student growth, and want them to be as stress-free as possible and well-rested next week.
We want to share the tentative schedule with you in order to avoid any scheduling conflicts (ie. doctor or dentist appointments) and to make sure kiddos are on time and ready each day to do their best. The schedule includes break time and an additional "buffer" in case testing is delayed for any reason. We have one longer day of testing, but the other two are about an hour, each, of total testing. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We appreciate all of your support at home!
ISTEP+ Schedule MARCH 6, 7, and 8 (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday):
TUESDAY-- 9:00 a.m.-11:15 a.m. (math and language arts test)
WEDNESDAY-- 9:00 a.m.-10:30 a.m. (language arts test)

Students WILL NOT have any homework next week, other than to HAVE FUN, relax, and get lots of extra rest! :)
