REMINDER - Iowa Assessment
Today and tomorrow, ICS students in grades 2 - 8 will finish the Iowa Assessment. The Iowa Assessment is a nationwide standardized test aimed at providing feedback as to the overall growth of our students and our school. Scores are compared to the performance of all of the other students who take the same test at the same time. In this way, the test provides teachers, students and families information about the progress of a student.
Please continue to prepare for excellence! Help your students by doing the following:
1. Get a good night's sleep.
2. Eat a good breakfast.
3. Encourage your son/daughter to do his/her best!
Any student who has missed a portion of the test will make it up next week.
If you have any questions about Iowa Assessments, please contact either your child's Homeroom teacher or Mrs. Riek: rieka@icstampa.org or Mr. Zelenka: icsmzele@icstampa.org.
