NAEP Testing for 8th Graders – February 6

NAEP INFORMATION TO PARENTS

This is a reminder that NAEP will take place at Steller Wednesday February 6th. Eight grade students will be tested in either Reading or Math and both tests are online.

There will be two test sessions, both in the MPR. The first group starts at 8:30 and will report to the MPR instead of their first hour class.

The second session starts at 11:30. Students need to bring a sack lunch and we will give them an early lunch break.

NO PHONES, SMART WATCHES, OR ELECTRONIC DEVICES ALLOWED. Please make sure to turn your phone off and leave it in your backpack or locker.

Students have received a note today about what session they are placed in (decided by the NAEP team) and they are asked to share the information with parents.

I have posted information about NAEP earlier, so please do a search on Flash for more information. If you have any questions, please call or send me an email.

8th Grade NAEP Testing February 6, 2019

Steller Secondary School will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on February 6, 2019. NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from our state assessments because it is a common measure of achievement across the country. The results are released as The Nation’s Report Card, which provides information about student achievement to educators, parents, policymakers, and the public.
