Archdiocesan Interim Assessments #1
In order to address academic concerns regarding the New York State Test results on the Common Core Standards - the Archdiocese of New York along with Catapult Learning will administer three interim tests to determine how students are performing before the 2014 tests are administered in the Spring.
These tests will be in ELA (English Language Arts) and Mathematics. Students in grades Kindergarten, First and second will take the test by paper and pencil. Students therefore should have 3 or 4 number 2 pencils.
Students in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 will take the test online using either an I-pad or a desktop computer in the computer room.
The ELA will be administered on Thursday, October 10th.
This is a change from the monthly calendar.
The Mathematics test will be administered Wednesday October 16th.
Students who may be absent for the test will be administered the test upon their return to school.
There will be no weekly quiz on Friday or next Tuesday so that students may concentrate on the Interim Assessment.
