We are excited to begin our Beginning-of-Year (BOY) NWEA assessments for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade! 📝✨

These assessments provide valuable information about what our students know and are ready to learn. Teachers will use the results to better understand individual student needs, set meaningful goals, and provide targeted instruction throughout the school year.

Help us ensure all students are present and on time for this important beginning of year testing window.

We encourage our students to:

💪 Do their best
🧠 Take their time and think carefully
🌟 Show what they know
📈 Remember that growth is the goal!
