Upcoming Events

At Crete Elementary School, we use a variety of assessments to gather relevant information about student performance or progress and to make decisions about students' instructional needs. This fall we will be administering Dibels and MAPS testing to all kindergarten through 2nd graders.

The following dates are when you can expect your child to be administered the assessments.

Dibels:

Kindergarten: September 6th - 15th

1st and 2nd grade: August 28th - September 15th

MAPS:

Kindergarten through 2nd grade: August 28th - September 15th

Once your student’s testing is complete, we will review the data and determine what instructional needs your student has and work to make sure we meet those needs. Your student’s assessment results will be available at parent teacher conferences, or mailed to you at a later date.

In order for you to have a full understanding of the assessment, please visit the Crete Public Schools website, under the Teaching and Learning and Assessment page. Click here to take you directly to the website for more information.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your student’s teacher or building administrator.
