Third graders will be doing the applied sections of ISTEP for math and writing starting this week on the 22nd. We will test in the mornings on the 22nd, 23rd, 28th and 29th. It is very important your child be at school for these times since spring break starts March 2nd and our time frame for doing make-ups is limited.
Of course, if a child is ill we want them to stay home. We will work hard to get all testing in before spring break. There will also be testing in late March and late April into early May
Students are allowed to bring a healthy snack to school on testing days. We usually have the snack before or after a testing session, whichever is needed. It also puts a little fun into our week!
As always, a good night's sleep and healthy breakfast will help our students be better testers.
Homework will be very limited during the testing window. Routines like studying spelling words, the monthly poem and reading for Book-It will still be encouraged.
