MID-YEAR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
Our midyear diagnostic testing window will open on December 1 and run through December 19. During this time, students will take their i-Ready Reading and Math assessments, which measure progress and help identify specific areas for continued growth. They will also complete the DIBELS 8 assessment, which focuses on important reading skills such as fluency, accuracy, and comprehension. Each student has set personal academic goals for these assessments and has been working hard to reach them. The results help teachers adjust instruction to best support each learner’s needs. Please encourage your student(s) to do their very best and take pride in showing all they’ve learned.
And be sure to look for their results once testing is complete!!
