Look below for the tests, grades and dates.

Families should know:

• Please make sure students have a good night’s sleep before the test.
• Eat a good breakfast at home or arrive at school in time to eat.
• Students can have unlimited time on tests, so remind them to take their time and do their best!
• It’s most important to show growth from year to year.
• There are two tests each for reading and math. The CAT (computer adaptive test) has about 40 questions and gets harder as students answer correctly. The PT (performance task) is made up of a few longer, more complicated questions.
