NAEP Testing

NAEP testing is a one time test. It will be held on February 17th at 9:20am. No names are attached to the test. It looks at statewide information for the nation's report card. We will be building it up as a point of pride to fourth graders. It's only 4th grade taking the test.

NWEA Testing

NWEA testing is a district test done three times a year. The results are available within 24 hours for teachers so that instructional decisions can be make. The window for testing is January 24th through February 18th. We are building a schedule now. It really only equates to two one-hour tests on the computer per child. Most children finish in 30 minutes. We will be testing first graders for the first time this year. It is a primary test done with head-phones.
