🦁This week begins the testing window for the fall benchmark. There are a few different assessments administered in each grade level. The purpose is for us to determine what students already know and what they might need help with. These tests are administered three times each year, beginning of the year, middle of the year, and end of year. This way we can see the progress students are making over the course of the year! This information will be shared with you once all testing is complete and/or at parent teacher conferences.
