We now have what are, hopefully, a final ISTEP+ testing schedule. Each class will be testing with it's homeroom. Each testing day Mr. Ellars' class will be in the 4th grade lab, Miss Greulich's class will be in the 5th grade lab, and Mrs. Knecht-Strong's class will be in the 6th grade lab. Resource students will test with their Resource teacher. Testing times and subjects will follow this schedule:

Monday, April 29 (Math) / 11:45-12:25
Wednesday, May 1 (English,Language Arts) / 9:35-11:05
Thursday, May 2 (Social Studies) / 12:30-1:40

Throughout the week Related Arts and lunch schedules will be adjusted to fit into the testing schedule. You can help out at home by making sure students get plenty of sleep each night and a good breakfast each morning.
