mclass FAQs

How will my scholar take the mCLASS assessment?

The mCLASS assessment will be administered digitally through the mCLASS platform. Gr1-4 scholars take their reading assessment during asynchronous worktime at home in the afternoon, while GrK scholars will have the assessment administered to them by their teacher.

What will my scholar need with them when they take the mCLASS assessment?

Your scholar will need their Uncommon Chromebook. We recommend that they also use headphones when they take the assessment, but they are not required.

How will I know what my scholar's reading level is?

Your scholar’s reading level and area of strengths and growth will be shared by classroom teachers after the assessment round.
