BENCHMARKS

Thursday and Friday, November 18th and 19th, will be our “benchmark” testing days.

What is benchmark testing? The benchmarks are a practice for the ISAT. It gives students (and teachers!) an opportunity to have a feel for what testing will look like and feel like come March of next year.

The benchmark also provides data about which areas of our curriculum need further focus, which students need further support, and which areas are strong and successful.

Please help your child to get a good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast on these days. Studies have proven that these extra steps do help increase alertness, memory recall, and performance. Plus, it helps your child to feel less stressed!
