We’re ending the semester with school spirit and good energy before Winter Break!
Our i-Ready testing schedule will be:
- Reading: December 1–5 in ELA Classrooms
- Math: December 8–12 in Math Classrooms
You can help your student by:
- Making sure they get a good night’s rest before taking the Diagnostic.
- Talking with them about why the second Diagnostic matters.
- Letting them know you’re excited to celebrate their progress.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting their learning.
