YEAR END–RISE TESTING
Believe it or not the end of the year is quickly approaching and we are preparing for year-end testing. State RISE assessments will be administered on May 1, 7, 9. The whole school will be assessed all at one time each day from 8-10:30am with a snack break provided by the school. We need all students to be assessed. By having all our students test, we will have a better understanding of how we need to adjust instruction, interventions and class offerings for students next school year. We use the data from these state assessments to make goals and determine funding in the school. High proficiency and growth scores show parents, district, state and community leaders how much our students are learning at Olympus. Your student’s full participation and effort is greatly appreciated. Please remember to plan doctor and dentist appointments at different times and dates if at all possible.
