Good afternoon!
Our ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) testing window is quickly approaching. These standardized assessments are important as they are one piece of a measure of how the state rates schools and districts within Iowa. 3rd and 4th-grade students are scheduled to take the tests in our main window of March 18- 27; your child’s teacher will share a more detailed schedule in the next few weeks. Attendance is important over this stretch of time as makeup tests can be tricky to reschedule. Some test-taking tips for both at home and at school can be found here.
2023-2024 Class composites are ready to download!
