mCLASS is an assessment used to measure the development of reading skills. Each student is tested individually so that the teacher can identify the skills students are internalizing and the skills that need additional support. Testing happens 3 times a year. This allows teachers to modify instruction based upon student mastery. Results for the mCLASS Middle of Year Assessment will be made available to parents mid-January.
