Parents and Guardians,
Tuesday we will begin our fall interim assessments. Grades 1-5 will be taking the i-Ready diagnostic. i-Ready is an adaptive assessment. As students answer correctly, the test gets more difficult. As students answer incorrectly, the test gets easier. The test adapts to find the ability of individual students and targets learning to fill in the gaps. Grades K & 1 will also be administered, one on one, the Fastbridge Reading and Math. Fastbridge is a universal screener that is nationally normed and provides data on student's strengths and weaknesses in these subjects. The Fastbridge screener provide essential data for teachers to provide support and enrichment to students.
