Your student will also be tested in math and science this year so there will be other days upcoming for those tests.

In advance of the tests, the State of Michigan has sent out the following letters for parents.  Please take a moment to read the letter.  If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I’ll do my best to find you an answer.
