Assistant Superintendent Mrs. Seitzinger told the School Committee the district will begin spring i‑Ready assessments in May and that current data are being used to target interventions and progress monitoring.
She reported that grade 5 ELA benchmark testing began this week and that the district is aligning curriculum and continuing learning-walk feedback, with a specific learning walk scheduled the next day at Ritchie Middle School. Seitzinger said the district recently held Reading Across the District from March 3 to March 7 and used the book Trying as the theme.
