IMPORTANT DATES

CLEARING UP THE CONFUSION ABOUT STANDARDIZED TESTING: HOW TESTING BENEFITS STUDENTS

There are a variety of beliefs about standardized tests.  Movements across the country have encouraged families to opt out without understanding the impact it has on students and schools. Ultimately, we believe these tests provide vital information on how the district as a whole is or is not providing rigorous instruction for all students.

 

We encourage SLP families to continue their learning and understanding about standardized tests.  To find out more information please visit our website LINK here.
