Platteville staff outline testing schedule and student activities; NHS to hold trivia fundraiser
Summary
Staff reported district-wide testing schedules (ACT for grade 11, preACT for grades 9–10 and upcoming forward testing for grades 3–8), highlighted Lit Wars and book-club activity, and promoted an NHS trivia night with proceeds to the Grant County Main Society.
District staff and board members used the March 25 meeting to highlight several student activities and testing schedules. Administrators reported the ACT was administered to 11th-graders and the preACT to grades 9 and 10; staff said internet connectivity allowed testing to proceed without major problems.
Staff also outlined an upcoming testing window for grades 3–8: forward testing for grades 3 and 4 will begin next week and the district expects a two- to three-week testing period for those grades. Eighth-grade testing and a longer month-long testing window for grades 5–8 were also reported.
On student activities, the board recognized Lit Wars participants and described two children's book clubs that meet weekly; staff members and a community librarian said the Lit Wars program energized student readers and fed book-club suggestions.
A staff member invited the public to the National Honor Society Trivia Night on the following evening, noting a silent auction at 6:30 p.m. followed by trivia at 7:00 p.m.; meeting remarks said proceeds would go to the Grant County Main Society.
These announcements were informational; no board actions were required or taken on testing schedules or student events during the session.
