The M-Step has come to McDowell Elementary School for fifth-, fourth-
and third- graders.
Beginning in mid-April, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE)
will administer for the second year the Michigan Student Test of Educational
Progress (M-STEP) at McDowell. Like last year, the M-STEP will be given online
and will measure current student knowledge on Michigan’s standards in English
language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies.
This year, based on feedback from students, parents, and
educators, there are several enhancements to M-STEP:
The test is now shorter for most students
M-STEP will begin after most spring breaks are over and end before
Memorial Day.
Our school has flexibility in scheduling the amount of time
students spend in a single test session.
Final test results should be available to schools prior to the
beginning of the next school year. This will include M-STEP parent reports to
be distributed by districts.
Everyone wants your child’s experience to be relaxed, healthy,
enjoyable, and stress-free. A positive outlook and supportive manner going into
these assessments will also influence your child’s experience.
Here are some of fifth graders readying themselves to go to the
computer room to test.
