NWEA testing

They were initially taking the Reading test on Wednesday afternoon and the Math test on Friday morning. Now there is an assembly on Wednesday afternoon during that time, so they will take the Reading test Friday after lunch.

*Spelling- No spelling words this week because of the shortened week and testing.
