iReady Winter Diagnostic
Our Winter iReady Diagnostic assessment window is just around the corner, and we are excited to celebrate our students’ hard work and growth! Throughout the testing window, students will have the opportunity to earn points that lead to our iReady Minute-to-Win-It Celebration on Thursday, December 18th.
Students can earn points for:
Being on time and ready to test on their scheduled day.
Meeting 50% of their stretch growth target.
Completing their assessment with no rushing flags.
Students who meet their typical growth target for winter will receive bonus points! Points will be converted into game tickets that students can use during our Minute-to-Win-It event.
Please begin talking with your child now about the importance of taking their time, focusing, and doing their very best on the Winter Diagnostic. Their effort truly matters and helps us see how much they’ve grown!
