The Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) will begin on Wednesday, March 6th and conclude on Monday, March 11th. Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 will be tested in mathematics and reading. 4th grade students will also take the science exam.
You will receive information about your child’s performance on the ISAT tests next fall. The test results will be used as one piece of information to guide instruction.
You can help your child do his or her best on the test by:
- Making sure that your child attends school on the days of testing provided they are not ill;
- Making sure your child gets a good night’s sleep;
- Eating a healthy breakfast;
- Reminding your child to ask the teacher questions if he or she does not understand the test directions;
- Letting your child know that you have confidence in his or her ability; and
- Advising your child not to worry about the test – just do the best he or she can.
Please call me or your child’s teacher if you want additional information or have further questions about these tests. We look forward to sharing the ISAT results with you this fall.
