Our NWEA testing will begin this week.  Over the next few weeks the 4th graders will be taking 4 NWEA tests (Reading, Math, Language, Science) and 3 M-Step tests (ELA, Math, Science).  All testing will be done in the mornings, so it is important that all students arrive to school on time, have had a healthy breakfast, have had a good night’s sleep, and bring a water bottle to keep at their desk during testing.
