Illinois Assessment for Readiness (IAR) - Week 2
This coming week, our 3rd – 5th grade students will continue to participate in the Illinois Assessment for Readiness (IAR). The IAR is the required standardized state testing.
Students will complete three Math tests (one per day) on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, April 11th-13th. Make-up assessments will be conducted when possible throughout the assessment window and through the following week of school. It is extremely important that students are in attendance for these assessments and prepared to do their best, as the assessments are used to rate our school on the Illinois School Report Card.
Parents can help ensure that their children are prepared to do their best as well! Please be sure that your child:
Gets a good night sleep on the evenings before the tests
Eats a healthy breakfast on the morning of the assessments
Arrives to school on time, as some testing will begin immediately in the morning
Brings their iPad updated and fully charged
Brings their school issued headphones or earphones
Please be sure to read the official letter regarding IAR with additional suggestions as to how parents can support students with the testing and more details regarding the assessments. You may also contact me directly with any questions.
