END OF YEAR TESTING
As the end of the year quickly approaches, we are preparing to administer end-of-year assessments to all our Beagles to see how they have progressed this year. We will not administer CAASPP assessments this year, but we will administer Local Measures assessments, all students will be assessed in language arts and mathematics. Are local measures District assessments are Smarty Ants TK-2nd, Achieve 3000/Level Set for grades 2nd – 6th, and iReady for grades Kinder – 6th Grade. Please encourage your children to use these technology accelerators daily as we approach the end-of-year testing window. Teachers will be letting you know the dates of your child’s assessments.
Your child will be assessed in class if they are in-person and at home with the teacher proctoring the assessment, if they are in Distance Learning. A Test Proctor is a person who ensures the identity of the test taker and the integrity of the test-taking environment.
Distance Learning Guardians: It is VERY important that these assessments are what your child knows and can do at the time of the test. It is not a time to help. Please encourage your child to do the best they can do. “Your teacher wants to see how much you have learned not how much I know. It is okay if you don’t know, you are only in ____ grade just do the best you can. You will learn it soon.”
