GMAS Testing Schedule

3rd year students in Cohort A will be taking ELA and Math GMAS this week. 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!

 Ms. Jazmin continues to assess Cohorts A and B while they are in the building. Ms. Marianne is testing Cohort C Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, at 8:45, directly after morning meeting. *Students in Cohort B will attend morning meeting and will not have open meetings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

On another note, we still do not have 100% participation of students practicing both subject areas on i-Ready. Our data goal for the final 9 weeks of school is 100% participation in weekly i-Ready practice.

Celebrate on May 5th (Cohort A) and May 6th (Cohort B) by walking or biking to school with your family. Ms. Patra will be at Circle Park from 7:25-7:50am to encourage you. Please complete the Covid safety screening prior to heading to Circle Park.
