Dear Shrevewood Families,

It is going to be a beautiful weekend, please enjoy some time with your family and relax as best you can!
Sincerely,

Virginia Growth Assessment (VGA) is a new test required for students in grades 3-8. The state legislature introduced this requirement to measure student growth and progress within the school year in reading and mathematics. For fall 2021, VGA will address content that was taught in the previous school year. The purpose of this fall’s VGA is to identify potential learning gaps resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. There is no “passing” or “failing” outcome for the VGA. Results will provide a starting point to measure growth and will offer information about areas of strength and areas for growth in reading and mathematics.
Below is the scheduled test days for Grades 3-6. Classes will be setting up the testing environment the day before their assigned date. Please make sure that your student has their laptop and charger packed for school!
