We will begin MEAP testing on October 8th.  It is important that your student receives a good night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast each day but it is doubly important during these test situations!  We want your student to be successful and good sleep habits and proper nutrition are ways you can support your student.

Another way to help your student is to be sure s/he is in class on test days ON TIME!  We will begin testing at 8:00 on those days so it is imperative that they arrive on time so they can settle in and prepare to do their best!  If possible, schedule doctor, dentist and ortho appointments later in the afternoon so testing does not have to be made up at a later date.

Here is our test schedule for 7th grade:

October 8th from 8:00-10:48 for Reading day 1.

October 9th from 8:00-10:48 for Reading day 2.

October 10th from 8:00-11:25 for Writing day 1.

October 21st from 8:00-10:48 for Math.

October 22nd from 8:00-11:25 for Writing day 2.

As in previous years, test results will be available in the spring.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
