Students in grades 3 – 7 will begin taking the IOWA Standardized Tests beginning tomorrow. If your child has any appointments, etc. that conflict with the testing schedule, please use the information below to make adjustments so they can be in the classroom for all testing:
IOWA Testing Schedule
Thursday, April 22nd – 8:15am to 9:15am
Monday, April 26th – 8:15am to 9:30am
Wednesday, April 28th – 8:15am – 9:15am

Wednesday, May 5th – 8:15am – 9:15am

Tests begin immediately after announcements and prayers so on-time arrival is of upmost importance on these days. If a student arrives after testing begins, the student will have to wait in the office until testing concludes so they do not disturb the other students.
For students that have opted for remote learning for the rest of the year, parents will receive an email with instructions regarding a special on-line version of the IOWA tests that has been purchased for your student to take.
There will be make-up opportunities for students that are out due to illness or quarantine.
