Dear Lexington Family/Caregiver,
Your student in grades 3-5 will take the Smarter Balanced tests in math and English language arts. Students in grades 5 will also take the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS) or the WA-AIM science assessment. The results from these tests are one of many ways of understanding where students are in their learning, relative to grade-level learning goals in math, English language arts, and science.
Our school testing schedule:
Grade 3: May 20, 21, 22, 27, 28
Grade 4: May 13, 14, 15, 20, 21
Grade 5: May 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 & June 4
It is very important your student is here and on time during our testing window. Please help your child do their best by making sure they also get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast.
For more information about the Smarter Balanced and WCAS tests, visit: https://ospi.k12.wa.us/student-success/testing/state-testing, and click on the name of the test.
We encourage all students to try their best and show what they know. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or our school testing coordinators.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Lexington Assessment Coordinators
Elizabeth Muir and Katie Watkins
