Up for the Test

Tomorrow is the day. The day that both of my schools begin the PARCC Assesment testing for 3rd-6th grades. Every test is on-line so I spent the day today setting up laptops, running surge protectors, and testing computers. The testing will close down my libraries and computer labs for the next 21/2 weeks. In order to keep books in the students' hands, my paras and I will be bringing a Book Mobile - a cart of books -to their classrooms. This will be a new adventure! 

The positive side of all this testing -which will happen again in April and May on a smaller scale - is that our school district is ready. Jeffco is very proactive and our tech department has been helping us prepare for this for the last two years. Of course the true "test" will be tomorrow when 100 schools and 6,000 students log in for their assessment! Stay tuned!
