Beginning Monday, September 22th through
Friday, October 3rd, students in
grades 2-8 will
be taking the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS). These are
standardized
achievement tests that are taken by children all over the Catholic
Dioceses.
The main purposes of the ITBS are to provide the school with
information
that can be used to improve instruction and to help teachers make
sound
educational decisions about each student’s learning. These scores allow
teachers to
check each student’s year-to-year growth and to identify some
of each
student’s strong areas of achievement and needed areas of improvement.
Please allow
your child to get a little extra rest, a good breakfast and to pack an
extra
“healthy” snack to school.
