Second Step
No Second Step This Week Due to Testing
Testing Continues
All students will be taking the Math NWEA on Tuesday and the Reading NWEA on Thursday. We will operate on our Testing Schedule these days.
5th Graders will take the Acadience Test on Monday, and 6th graders will take it on Wednesday. We will operate on our normal bell schedule these days.
The Acadience Reading Test is a series of short assessments given to determine a student's mastery of foundational reading skills.
The NWEA MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Growth assessment is a computerized adaptive assessment that measures your child's knowledge of reading, math, and science. All students are asked the same number of questions, but the difficulty of each question is based on how well a student answers all the previous questions.
