Our Explorers Are Ready!
During the months of May and June, 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students will be taking the Measurement of Student Progress (MSP).  This is a state-wide academic test to show how students are doing in reading, math, writing and science.  Our students will do well!

We need your help during this time to ensure all students have the optimum conditions in which to show their learning.  Volunteers will need to meet with our office staff to review necessary school procedures during this time.  We will have many trained teachers and trained classified staff, working with classes, small groups, and individual students throughout the entire school.

The schedule of testing is available on the web.  Students need to be at school on time and be at school all day to complete these tests.  Students absent for a day of testing will have make-ups on a different day.  Students leaving in the middle of the test day will not be able to complete the testing on another day.  Students will go to specialists, lunch and recess on test days.

• Students do their best when:

They have a good night’s sleep
They have had a nutritious breakfast
They are encouraged to do their best
They know that their teachers and families believe in them. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office at 253-891-4500.

Respectfully,
Susie Black
