i-Ready online Diagnostic Testing:  Throughout the year our math and reading program does a large diagnostic to test to reevaluate the level your student is at.  Administration had felt that even with distance learning, we still would like the students to complete the end of year test.  This data will help 4th grade know what gaps to fill, if there are any, in the fall. Because this is such a long and important test, there will be no other school work that week. 

*  For the test students will need to login to our Zoom at specific times listed on the schedule below, and I will need to monitor them with their camera and microphone on while they take the test. 

*  Please help your student by creating a “testing environment” that will allow them to focus with minimal distractions (think of a library-like environment).

*  Please make sure they get a good night’s sleep each night and have breakfast before they begin.

*  They are allowed to have a pencil and paper, but that is all. 

*  If you or another adult is able, please help monitor your student so that I know the data is accurate and they aren’t using other resources to answer the questions.  It is important that you do not help them with this test, it is okay if they don’t know an answer, it actually helps them because the 4th-grade teachers know what learning gaps they need to fill in next year.  Also, make sure your student isn’t just guessing.  This will put them at a low level and they will get so bored with school! The program does let me know if a student rushed through the test and they will be required to retake it.  Please help your student understand the importance of doing their best and taking their time. 

*  Again, the results of this test will help the 4th-grade teachers know the best way to help your students in the Fall.  

*  This test will take multiple sessions to complete, please check the schedule that I have attached to see when your child needs to be in Zoom with me for testing.  If this does not work for you, we do have evening options available, please let me know soon.

As students finish the tests, they will not need to attend the corresponding sessions.  However, the program does let me know if a student rushed through the test and they will be required to retake it.  Please help your student understand the importance of doing their best and taking their time.
*  Here is the schedule (please make sure your student is on time for the test each day):

Thank you for all you have done and continue to do to help your student.  Please continue to let me know of any questions you have, and how best I can help.
