Ramadan Mubarek- Those students that are fasting have the opportunity to meet and participate in alternate activities during the lunch/recess period. Please email me if your child is fasting and you would like to have them meet for the alternate activity.

IAR Spring 2025-Illinois Assessment for Readiness is the state assessment and accountability measure for Illinois students. The ELA summative assessment has students read and analyze passages from authentic texts that can be both fiction and nonfiction as well as multimedia. Then they use the knowledge from these passages and multimedia to respond to different types of questions that include a writing piece. Students have been given practice questions to help them become familiar with the digital format used on the TestNav testing platform. Students will know how to use the TestNav tools and features that will appear on their assessments.  

ELA Testing is March 18, 19, 20 and will be completed during their ELA Block time. Please ensure that your child has working headphones.

Homeroom: 10:30 to 12:00

Block 2: 1:45 to 3:15

Math IAR Testing is March 25, 26, 27 and will be completed during their Math Block time.

ISA-Illinois Science Assessment: 5th Grade students will also be taking part in the state science testing. The assessment will be administered online during their Math/Science/Social Studies block on April 8, 9, and 10. 

Testing Preparation: Thank you for your partnership is ensuring your child has a good night's rest, complete breakfast, healthy snack, and water bottle. Please check-in about your child's headphones, as we only have one spare set in class. Students may also chew gum or bring mints for the testing period to possibly improve focus, concentration, and reduce stress or anxiety which can indirectly improve performance.
