PM2, FAST/BEST Testing
Change for Algebra & Geometry Students
PM2 assessments are quickly approaching and we want parents to have an idea of the dates and schedules for these two days. PM2 is important to us because we use the data from these assessments to make adjustments to our pacing, interventions, enrichment and sometimes class schedules. Please let your student know that we need their best effort!
Algebra & Geometry Students: In the past, during PM1 and PM2 test days you have gathered in the cafeteria and completed additional assignments or lessons since there is no progress monitoring test provided by the state. In order to use this day to its fullest, our Math department is creating it's own progress monitoring assessment that will help shape the last few months of curriculum. Each of our Algebra and Geometry students will now receive test day tickets for PM2.
