IOWA Testing (Grades 3-7) Begins Next Week
Just a reminder that IOWA (standardized) testing for students in grades 3rd – 7th begins next week and runs through the 2nd week of May (Monday, April 25th – May 13th). Testing will take place first thing in the morning each day.
Please pay particular attention to ensuring your child/ren get to bed on time the evening before each testing day and have a nutritious breakfast each morning. Also, it is important that students get to school on time each day as testing will begin each day right after morning announcements.
Any students coming in tardy will have to wait in the office until the testing period is over (and will have to make up that test at another time if they are in grades 3-7).
