    Science - Only Grade 8

    Actualización para Evaluaciones Estatales 2021 

    Estimados familias de Mountain Vista Community School,

    Le agradecemos sus esfuerzos para apoyar a nuestros estudiantes y maestros durante este año escolar. Tenemos una gran oportunidad de medir los logros de todos nuestros esfuerzos a través de evaluaciones estatales.

    A medida que nos preparamos para la próxima ventana de evaluación, estamos comprometidos a ofrecer la mejor instrucción y los entornos más seguros a nuestros estudiantes. Nos gustaría que todas nuestras familias se dieran cuenta de nuestro programa de evaluación ACTUALIZADO mientras nos preparamos para el CMAS/CoAlt para nuestros estudiantes de 3º a 8º grado.

    Desde nuestra última carta, el estado presentó una exención federal para reducir las pruebas y fue aprobada. Por lo tanto, se requerirán las siguientes pruebas para CMAS/CoAlt:
    ELA Grados: 3, 5, 7
    Matemáticas Grados: 4, 6, 8
    Ciencias: Sólo Grado 8

    Para que planifiquemos adecuadamente, por favor háganos saber si desea que su(s) hijo(s) tome la prueba opcional CMAS/CoAlt ELA o Matemáticas, además de la prueba requerida antes del 04/02/21 por correo electrónico al director o asistente del director.
    ELA Grados: 4, 6, 8
    Matemáticas Grados: 3, 5, 7       

    Nuestra política actual de la junta es que los padres pueden excusar a su estudiante de las pruebas estatales enviando un correo electrónico al director de la escuela. La política para nuestro distrito está aquí.
