CAT4/CCAT Testing
Continuing this week, until May 24th, standardized testing will be carried out. Grades K, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8 students will be tested during class time (Grades 4 and 7 already completed a standardized test in the fall – the FSAs). Results will be shared with parents once received, typically around the end of the school year. Please ensure your child is well rested and has a healthy breakfast so they can be ready to do their best work. These tests help to guide teachers and the school in our program offerings and identify areas needing support.
