Over the next few weeks, intermediate students will be given opportunities to build endurance and become accustomed to more lengthy assessments through the administration of benchmark tests.  These are not six weeks benchmark tests, but more closely resemble the length and rigor of state testing. We will only take one benchmark in each subject area.  We will begin with 4th grade Writing and 5th Grade Math and Reading on February 22nd and 23rd.  Math and Reading benchmarks will be given to 3rd and 4th grades on March 6th and 7th. Science will be taken by 5th grade on March 8th.

Teachers will use the results of these benchmarks to help students build on strengths and target areas of weaknesses. We are confident that our students will be successful.
