2. NWEA-<\/b>\u00a0Your child’s results are now available in the Powerschool Online Parent Portal. \u00a0They are located by clicking on the \u201cStudent Progress Tab\u201d in the menu on the left side of the screen.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Please 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\u00a0Department of Education.\u00a0 Therefore, for this year, the\u00a0\u201cGrowth\u201d data for the “Middle Of\u00a0 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\u00a0closer to the beginning of the school year thus giving more time between tests for instruction.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3.\u00a0<\/strong> Just a reminder that the ISTEP Test continues to evolve in terms of rigor and format. Here are links to practice tests:<\/div>\n
