As you all know by now we are now testing the ISAT test. This is the state required test as all students grades3-8 are testing at this time (unless a change of one week earlier or later was requested because of spring breaks). All tests are 45 minutes in length with an optional additional 10 minutes if any students are still working.

The 5/6 graders are taking one test a day so will complete their sessions on Wednesday, March 10^th. The 7/8 graders are taking two tests a day, so they will complete their sessions this Friday. Make-up testing will be conducted whenever students are available. The state only allows testing to occur over the ten weekdays, so we have to be completely done by the end of school on Friday, March 12^th.
