The Central Catholic Saints

Parents this week we have been taking i Learn english language arts. On Tuesday, students in grades 3 through 8 will begin taking the i Learn testing. Please ensure that your students goes to bed at a reasonable time and they have a good breakfast. Remember that we offer breakfast here at school to all students.

Students also need to bring a set of headphones to use for iLearn. Parts of the iLearn test are read to the students and they will need to be able to hear what is being asked in order to answer the questions. These headphones need to have a cord to plug into the computer - airpod type headphones will not work with our computers.
