As Mr. Dawson mentioned in his most recent Navigator eNewsletter, our school's AZMerit testing dates begin next week (April 6-10). To learn more about this test provided by the Arizona Department of Education (ADE), visit this link.

Since this will be the first year we are administering the test, we are proceeding cautiously with the preparations. Our students have been practicing in class with the online practice tests provided by the ADE. They are as prepared as they can be.
Our sixth graders will be testing on Wednesday, April 8th (morning only), Thursday, April 9th (morning and afternoon), and Monday, April 13th (morning and afternoon). We would very much appreciate you avoiding doctor's appointments or taking your child out of school on those days. If an appointment is necessary or your child is sick, they may take the test upon their return to school. Please encourage your child to get a good night's sleep, eat a good breakfast, and do their best.
*Students need earbuds or headphones to use during testing. Please remind them to bring them.*
