LMS Families,
Next week, beginning Tuesday, May 5 through Friday, May 8, students in grades 3–5 will be taking the WV General Summative Assessment. Students in grades 3–5 will be assessed in Math, Reading, and Writing, and fifth-grade students will also be assessed in Science.
It is very important that all students are present, on time, and well rested each day of testing. Students who arrive on time each day, spend an appropriate amount of time on the test without rushing, show their work, use strategies and available online tools, check their math problems, reread texts, and remain actively engaged will earn a free field trip to the Princeton Health and Fitness Center. Please note that students must meet all of these requirements to qualify for the field trip.
Parents, please help support your child by ensuring they get a good night’s sleep each evening so they are prepared to do their best.
Thank you for your support!
