Achievement Tests and District Assessments- Debbie Bonacci
• Reading Achievement Test: May 2nd• Math Achievement Test: May 3rd
• Practice math achievement given in two parts.• Avoid making appointments on these days.
• Common Assessments
• Formative Assessments: (exit slip/entrance slip)- a type of in class “quiz” given to check each child’s understanding along the way. These provide information as to who needs intervention/enrichment.
• Writing Assessments- Quarterly writing assessments will be given to all 6th grade classes. These are given in order to see progress at different stages during the year.
