GMAS Testing Schedule

The  3rd year students in Cohort C who began testing last week will continue GMAS testing this week. 3rd year students in Cohort A will be taking ELA and Math GMAS beginning Tuesday. See the schedule located below. Here are some tips for students testing this week.

• Get a good night's sleep (Avoid using tech devices before going to bed).
• Pack everything you may need ahead of time (earbuds, mouse, pencil, scratch paper, snacks, etc.).
• Eat a healthy, filling breakfast (school breakfast is still FREE for all students).
• Stay calm (utilize deep breathing techniques).
• Be positive and do your best!

We will be administering end-of-the-year i-Ready diagnostic assessments in the next 2 weeks. Ms. Jazmin will begin testing Cohorts A and B this week while they are in the building. Ms. Marianne will assess Cohort C next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 8:30. Students will attend mandatory i-Ready practice during Wednesday morning meeting this week. Students need to login to i-Ready during our Wednesday morning meeting and practice both math and reading skills. We still do not have 100% participation in both subject areas. Our data goal for the final 9 weeks of school is 100% participation in i-Ready practice.

All students are expected to read with Amira 3 times a week!

All students have Explorations 10:20-11:05 daily.
