Test Results for Parents
Our students have taken a variety of assessments this month. Family score reports for most spring assessments will be centrally distributed to families through SIS ParentVUE, with central mailing ongoing for VKRP assessments. As a school, we have the responsibility to mail out those results to families without ParentVUE accounts. Please see the timeline for when these assessment results will be delivered.
-
iReady Grade 1-3 - expected in ParentVUE the week of 6/3 (non-ParentVUE delivery by the end of this year)
-
iReady Grade 4-6 - expected in ParentVUE the week of 6/24 (non-ParentVUE delivery before the start of next school year)
-
VKRP Grade PreK-K - expected central delivery via U.S. Mail the week of 7/8
 Some of our Grade 4 students have been engaged in an exchange project with students in Nicaragua. In the fall our students shared their research about birds and what school is like in the US. This week they received a package from their exchange students that included research about birds in Nicaragua as well as some crafts.
