COUNT DOWN TO STATE TESTING

We have approximately 11 weeks before Michigan’s annual six-week testing season begins in April. The results of the various assessments can influence college admissions, teacher evaluations, and whether third-graders are promoted. M-Step is a high stakes assessment! Attendance, daily instruction, tutoring and intervention will be critical. Let’s be focused and ready to take action!
