M-Step Testing: Grades 3 - 6
There is a section below in this newsletter containing more information on MStep testing, including copies of grade level letters.
Electronic Device Policy--2nd Post: This is also included with MStep information. Students are prohibited from having, wearing, and/or using electronic devices during MStep testing. This includes smart watches, FitBits, and other devices. If a student has a wearable device during testing, this MUST be report to the state of Michigan as a testing incident and could invalidate test scores for the entire class. Electronic items that are brought to school MUST be turned off and stored in the child's backpack. The policy is located in the MStep section of this newsletter with more information.
UCS is providing students with wired earbuds to use during MStep testing.
