We have been busy testing all week, and the students have done a great job. We are almost done with the yearly ISAT tests. Our third, fourth, and fifth graders completed reading and math this week. Additionally, fourth graders took science tests and third graders took writing tests. Our fifth graders will complete their writing tests on Monday, March 8. We were pleased with attendance, but do have some make-up exams to administer. We have the week to complete these. The ISAT tests measure our school and students against the state standards. We will see our results in the early fall.

The ISAT official testing period is fast approaching. The window for test administration is March 1, 2010 - March 12, 2010.  Students have been preparing for these state tests, and are almost ready. The state tests help us to see if we are meeting expectations and standards that they state sets for all public schools. Please help us by making sure that students are in school and are on time every day during the testing weeks. We want our students to show their knowledge and expertise in the best setting possible.
