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
Friday, April 30th – 8:15am – 9:15am

Wednesday, May 5th – 8:15am – 9:15am
Friday, May 7th – 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.
Important Reminder For Current Grade 6 Parents
/in Uncategorized /by Saint James SchoolMany of our 6th grade students will be bringing home a reminder letter from the school nurse today and a Blue Health Form (State of CT Health Assessment Record) . The nurse has already spoken with the students bringing home this information. Please discuss with your child and review the letter. As a reminder, an updated State of CT Health Assessment Record (signed by the child’s doctor) must be on file with the school BEFORE they start their 7th Grade year (students cannot start in September without this on file). If your child has recently had a physical, please have the provider complete the Health Form and return it to Mrs. Vignati as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, contact Mrs. Vignati at 860-643-5088 (ext. 3)
