iReady Assessment - 9th and 10th Grade
9th and 10th graders will be participating in the iReady diagnostic for math on Monday, and the iReady assessment for reading, on Wednesday. As your students leave for school, please encourage them to do their best. The assessment is given to students at the beginning of the year, so that teachers can use this data to determine where appropriate supports need to be provided to help your students to be successful. It is critical that the data we receive is accurate so that the Alvirne community can work as a team to address these areas of need.
PSAT/NMSQT-11th Grade
The PSAT/NMSQT will be given to all interested juniors on Wednesday, October 23. The cost of the test is $18. Students need to sign up for the test in the school counseling office by Friday, September 13.
