The Testing Adventures Have Begun!

     I can’t believe it is almost February!  It is amazing how quickly the year is going.  I really have a feeling we may have missed the winter weather.  I hope I didn't just jinx our luck.  

     As we move into the next few months, we will begin to prepare for our new standardized test:  PARCC.   The PARCC tests are high quality, computer-based K-12 assessments in Mathematics and English Language Arts/Literacy.  They are carefully crafted to give teachers, schools, students, and parents better and more useful information on how we’re preparing our kids for their futures.  

     In March, our 3^rd-5^th grade students will be completing the performance based assessment part of PARCC.  In May, they will complete the end of year assessment.  

Please visit the PARCC website to learn more about the assessment.
