Hi there, Team 5th Grade Families!

I hope you all had a wonderful and restful Holiday Season, and a Happy New Year! I look forward to continuing our journey together this school year! Thank you for all your continued support, I appreciate it more than you know!

Students will be starting the NWEA test this Tuesday morning, January 5th, 2021. We will begin testing at around 9:30 am.

IMPORTANT: Please have your student complete this device readiness check by clicking the link with the device they will be using for the NWEA test. (I also messaged this link to students in Schoology). https://teach.mapnwea.org/impl/maptraining/DeviceReadiness/story_html5.html

Students will be testing from home, so please do not help them with the test. However, you can help them with troubleshooting any technical problems that may arise. As always, this data will provide us with information that will help us drive instruction in a more targeted manner, which is why it is imperative we get accurate and authentic results.

Students Should:

-Get a good night’s rest.

-Eat a healthy breakfast.

-Take the test seriously.

-Have a location that is free of distractions during testing.

If you have any questions, as always, please feel free to reach out to me.

GO TEAM 5TH GRADE!!

Respectfully,

Mr. D
