Mr. Pappas Announcements
Dear Families,
This week all kinder-6th grade students will be taking their diagnostic tests. These tests are given three times a year. We use the results to track growth in both math (k-6) and ELA (3-6). We will be giving the tests spread out over the week to help with test fatigue and to try to get the best results we can. These results will also determine what lessons are taught in MYPATH. Please talk with your children about taking their time and doing their best. As this is not a pass/fail test it is ok to miss questions they don't know. The test is looking at the ones they do know.
