Hi Tigers, Our third graders will have their Spring i-Ready Reading Test on Monday April 26 and fourth graders will have the test on Tuesday April 27. Please make sure students got adequate sleep and have a good breakfast in the morning. Parents may help students to login the testing portal, but academically students should answer questions themselves. This test is not for grading and to catch the true improvements of the students should answer questions themselves. The i-Ready is an adaptive test and students may find at least the half of the questions difficult. It is normal, students just need to read question carefully and make a best guess a move forward. Thank you for the cooperation and have nice weekend.
