Students, get prepared because the end of year level testing is coming up! The end of year tests are taken in math, language arts, and science. They are designed to measure students’ mastery of the state core curriculum. These tests will be taken on the computer. They are not timed, so students will be able to go at their own pace. It is necessary that all students take these tests.
According to Mr. Darrel Rolfe, Springville Junior High’s principal, schools give these test to measure students’ success in specific areas. Student scores not only tell the student how successful they were, but help teachers determine areas they need to emphasize as they teach. Basically these test measure student learning and provide a picture for the teacher of areas of concern as classes are taught each year. From year to year tests show teaching trends that may occur in their classroom.
The science test will be taken April 6th through May 15th. The Language Arts test and math test will be taken April 20th through May 22th.
All tests will be taken on the computer, so no pencil is necessary. They will also be graded by the computer. So students study and be prepared to take these tests.
