As we move into the last marking period of the school year, we will begin administering our annual state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. Although this year has been like no other, these assessments will provide us with valuable information about our students’ learning strengths and needs moving forward and will also provide you with information about your child’s academic progress. This information, along with other classroom data, will be used to help us ensure we are meeting the needs of each student as we plan for summer and fall programming.
Your child’s school will be reaching out in the coming weeks to let you know the dates and times in which they will be testing. Students participating in the hybrid model will complete the state assessments on the days in which they attend in-person learning at school. Students that are participating in remote learning at home will be scheduled to come into the school to complete the assessments. Schools will be reaching out to remote families with additional scheduling details. Transportation may be provided as needed for remote students on the days that they are scheduled to come into the school to test.
Thank you so much for your continued involvement and support as we move into the home stretch of this unprecedented school year.
Capital Nurses urge everyone - if you are not feeling well, stay home and away from others and schedule an appointment with your primary care provider as needed!
Families should also complete the
student health screener each day before sending students to in-person learning. Capital School District follows established cleaning protocols against COVID-19.
