We are Ready to be Respectful, Interdependent, Organized, and Responsible Students and Staff! We are Warriors!
We hope you had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! At the beginning of the school year and at other points throughout the year, we focus on learning and reviewing the behavior and safety expectations around the building. Teachers explicitly go through the expectations in different areas and make sure that all students understand what is expected of them in those areas. Students and teachers did a great job with this the first two days last week! We will continue to go through these expectations this week as well.
NWEA, Acadience, HMH Growth Measure
At three points throughout the school year, all students take the NWEA for math, reading, and science. 5th and 6th grade students also take the Acadience test for reading three times per year. New this year is the HMH growth measure for math. This will be taken by all students, three times per year as a part of our new math curriculum. Yes, this is a lot of testing, but it ensures that students receive the appropriate interventions throughout the year.
We will start our Fall testing on Wednesday the 6th this week with Science NWEA, and we will operate using our Testing Schedule on this day. On Thursday the 7th, 5th graders will take the Acadience test during their reading period. On Friday the 8th, 6th graders will take the Acadience test during their reading period. We will operate using the normal bell schedule these days.
Fall testing will wrap up next week with the Reading NWEA on Tuesday the 12th and Math NWEA on Thursday the 14th. We will operate using our testing schedule on these two days as well!
