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 3rd-5th
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.

information about our new testing adventure!**
