Standardized Testing
Standardized testing is just around the corner. Students in
grades Kindergarten through eight grade will participate in the
Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) April 19th - 22nd. Our third
through eight grade students will also have an additional testing
window for the MAP testing April 5th - 8th. Please mark your
calendars and try to avoid scheduling appointments that would
require your student to miss school during the testing dates. The
SAT and MAP tests are wonderful opportunities for students to
show all that they have learned this year. Preparing them to do
well is definitely a partnership between home and school. Please
support your child at home and encourage them to see the
importance of always doing their best!
