Students will meet in lab 105 for the second round of Acuity testing. This will give us a good indication of what standards students have mastered thus far in the school year. This will also allow us what specific areas in ELA we need to focus on before the I-STEP test the first week of March. Students took the first round of Acuity in October. We are hoping to see growth and higher scores on this round. The students will be asked 20 questions and ALL students must strive to score a 14 or better. This will prove that students have mastered at least 70% of the 8th grade standards by this time in the year as well are roughly 70% of the way through this academic school year.
