IAR (Illinois Assessment of Readiness) testing will continue the week of 4/15. The schedule is as follows:
4/15 - Math #2
4/16 - Math #3
4/17 & 18 - Make-ups.
All testing will be in the morning. Please make sure that your child comes to school each day with a fully charged Chromebook and headphones.
Your child will be able to do his/her best when he/she is well rested and has had a healthy breakfast before coming to school. There will be no time for a snack before the tests, as we are taking them first thing in the morning. And just a reminder that our classroom motto is..."Don't stress - just do your BEST!"
