Curriculum & Instruction from our Assistant Principal

Our Third and Fifth Grade students will be participating in the fall administration of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills on October 18th through 22nd. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills is a norm-referenced test that measures student achievement in reading, language, mathematics, science and social studies. The results of this test will help us determine how well our students are performing and assist us in planning to meet our students' academic needs.

 

It is important for third and fifth grade students to be present and on time each of the testing days. Our staff wants to provide your child with the best opportunity to be successful. Since the formal testing environment cannot be duplicated during make-up testing, it is to your child's advantage to be at school during these scheduled test days.

 

Although your child will not be asked to study or prepare for this test, you might help him/her by following these test taking tips:

 

Get plenty of rest

Eat a good breakfast

Attend school daily

Be on time

Be prepared (#2 pencils and glasses if needed)

 

Thank you for your continued support. Your cooperation during this important assessment period is greatly appreciated.
