Quiet! Testing underway

Quiet! testing underway.

Testing is the major focus in April at Ada elementary. Information about the testing is part of the April elementary school newsletter. Here is information parents and caregivers need to know about the tests.

All tests are scheduled for morning administration in the following schedule:

• Monday, April 16 - English Language Arts part 1, grades 3-6
• Wednesday, April 18 - English Language Arts part 2, grades 3-6
• Monday, April 23 - Mathematics part 1, grades 3-6
• Wednesday, April 25 - Mathematics part 2, grades 3-6
• Tuesday, May 1 - Science, grade 5

Beginning in 3rd grade, Ohio begins assessing students each year. These assessments are completed online and are to measure student proficiency of Ohio’s learning standards.

According to the school: “As with any test, students are encouraged to get a good night’s rest and eat a healthy breakfast. Please avoid scheduling appointments on these days so that students can take the test with their peers, rather than in a make-up situation. It is also important for students to arrive to school on time.”

Due to Ohio’s assessments, the April scheduled early release is Friday, April 27.
