Please encourage your child to take their time and do their best on the math and reading NWEA assessments so that their score reflects the learning and hard work that they've done this year! Ensuring that your child is well rested, in attendance at school unless sick, and reminding your child that assessments are to show what they know, is supportive and appreciated! Thank you for all you do to set up your child for success everyday!

The M-Step assessment has been given in all subjects for grades 3rd-5th. The team is holding makeup days for any students who may need to finish a test.
