MCDOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Testing calls for support

Shh! We're testing …

This month begins a very important time for McDowell Elementary School, M-Step Testing.  The staff wants your child’s state assessment experience to be as relaxed and stress-free as possible. Your positive outlook and supportive manner going into these assessments also will influence your child’s experience.

Remember, testing is a part of learning. State assessment results do not impact student grades. They are designed to provide information on student knowledge and ability in relation to state grade-level content standards that identify what educators and employers believe students need to know and be able to do to be career-and college-ready upon graduation.

Schools and district use the results for curriculum planning and school improvement initiatives that benefit all students.
