State Testing Begins This Week
This week we will begin an intensive period of on-line testing — M-STEP, our state assessment. To find out more about the test, please read this letter issued by the State Superintendent of Schools, Mike Flanagan: M-STEP Parent Letter
Our fifth graders will take the tests over a 2-3 week period of time beginning Tuesday, April 14. Fourth graders will take the test in the three weeks following this and finally, third graders will take the test the last three weeks of school.
Our Fifth Grade testing schedule is roughly outlined below. It is critical that your child attend full day, everyday during the testing. Once a student has started the test, they cannot stop until completed. If the students stops midway through the test without completing it, all unanswered questions are wrong.
Please check your family calendar for any appointments that might impact the testing schedule on 4/14, 4/15, 4/16, 4/17, 4/21, 4/23 and 4/24. Please change these so that your child’s testing is not interrupted. Again, once a student starts the testing session, the session must be finished.

- Mrs. Burdis’ class will take the test every afternoon from 12:30-3:30
