Statewide Assessments

The statewide assessments will be taking place on Tuesday 14 April and Wednesday April 15th. The 9th graders will be taking the writing test required for high school graduation. The 10th graders will be taking the reading test required for graduation, and the 11th graders will be taking the math test required for graduation. These are what we call ‘high stakes’ meaning that they must be passed in order to graduate. There will be other opportunities should someone not pass this month, but we would like to get all of our students through this process the first time. Parents can help by making sure that all students are in school and well rested on these days. Thank you very much for helping our students understand the importance of these state assessments.
