News:
1.Normally, students dropped off in the car line are permitted in the building at 8:20 AM. On mornings the temperature drops below freezing, students will be allowed in the building at 8:00 AM.
2. NWEA- Your child’s results are now available in the Powerschool Online Parent Portal. They are located by clicking on the “Student Progress Tab” in the menu on the left side of the screen.
Please remember that we took the “Beginning of Year” (BOY) assessment 10 weeks into the school year as this program was not available to us until a grant was approved by the Department of Education. Therefore, for this year, the “Growth” data for the “Middle Of Year” (MOY) report should not be considered accurate information since the time period between the BOY and MOY windows was only 5 weeks. In future years, we will take the BOY much closer to the beginning of the school year thus giving more time between tests for instruction.
3. Just a reminder that the ISTEP Test continues to evolve in terms of rigor and format. Here are links to practice tests:
Select your child’s grade and then select Computer-Based Practice Test
