ISASP Testing
Students in grades 3-5 will take our ISASP state test during the weeks of 4-23 to 5-9. Liberty's testing will be mostly from April 28th to May 2nd. The ISASP assessment (previously known as ITBS) is the state assessment that measures student growth and proficiency in reading, math and science (5th grade). ISASP tests are broken down into smaller segments and typically last 60-70 minutes each day. These assessments are required by the state of Iowa Department of Education. Our students have been working hard all year and we cannot wait to see their growth! We will be doing encouraging things throughout the week to build students up and help them do their best.
You can do some things at home to support your students as they take this assessment.
- Make sure your student(s) gets enough sleep
- Ensure your student(s) get to school ON TIME on testing days
- Remind your student(s) to try their best
- Ensure they have a nutritious breakfast or get them to school in time to eat the free breakfast here
- Try not to put too much pressure on your student(s). Reinforce that as long as they worked hard and did their best that you will be proud of them.
- Use positive language when talking about expectations of the test.
