A note from the Moddle School Team about Iowa Assessments Oct. 22nd-26th:
Hello Parents,
The middle school students will be taking Iowa Assessments next week. We will test every day Monday, October 22, through Friday, October 26. We test each morning in homeroom from 8:15-9:30 except on Wednesday; we will test after Mass from 9:30-11:00. Grades 3-8 test at the same time every day. Students will be given an alternate schedule for those days. Students will have four out of the six core classes on those days along with rotation, exploratory, and WIN time.
We will take breaks while testing. Students are encouraged to bring a healthy snack. The snack letter is attached for your reference. Students are also encouraged to bring a water bottle.
On Thursday, October 26, students will be taking the assessments for Math Parts One and Two. Students are allowed to use calculators. Please check with your child to make sure he/she has a calculator to use. Please also check to see that your child has a number 2 pencil for the week.
We appreciate your efforts at home to prepare your child for Iowa Assessments.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
