Attention Parents:
The Last NWEA test of the year is scheduled:
Tuesday, May 14th will be MATH at 9:00am
Monday, May 20th will be READING at 9:00am
The NWEA test is a VERY important piece of data that helps us determine if your child is ready for 1st grade (along with other pieces of information, such as DRA, math checklists, various performance tasks, etc.) It also allows us to see areas of strengths and weaknesses. This allows us to focus instruction and provide challenging lessons at their level. Since this is the last NWEA test of the year, we will also be using the information to come up with summer packets to help reinforce and retain what they have learned this year so they are ready to hit the ground running when we return to school in the fall.
IN addition, we need you to send the same messages about NWEA at home that we send at school. They are as follows:
- This is a test to show what you know- TRY YOUR BEST!
- RELAX AND TAKE YOUR TIME! Listen to the questions and answer choices as many times as you need to before you make your answer choice. (The test is read to kindergarten students and if they click the speaker it reads it to them. Once you hit “next” you cannot go back.)
- BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
Thanks for your help! We (teachers and parents) are a team and need to send the same messages to the children, especially about testing. Please also help prepare their brains and bodies by ensuring a good night sleep and healthy breakfast!
We appreciate your help with this VERY important matter.
Let’s Rock this Test Kindergarten!!!!!!
