AimsWeb Spring Testing

Please administer the computerized portion of the reading and math tests within the following window:  April 22 - April 30.  

EXACT PATH - IMPORTANT

We need for our Special Education Student and Tier 3 student to complete the Exact Path Diagnostic for this last testing window.  We will compare this data to the upcoming Fall Data to analyze regression over the summer.  Case Managers: Please make sure you coordinate this for your students for the subject areas where there are deficiencies. Teachers, please do the same for any student receiving Tier 3.  If you have any questions please let us know.  We would like to have this completed no later than mid-May.
