Week 2 - STAR Testing and more!

Welcome back, Falcons!

On Monday, we will be STAR testing.  This is a computer adaptive test, which means that each student will have individual questioning (a correct answer leads to a more difficult question and an incorrect answer or no answer leads to an easier question) that will zero in on a student's approximate math grade level.  STAR testing will occur several times a year to measure growth and possibly make schedule changes.
