Spring Assessments
Students and staff have been busy this week finishing up OAKS testing. All of our 3rd-8th graders take state tests in Reading and Math. In addition, 5th and 8th graders take the Science test. We are enormously proud of the academic achievement of our students. The computer labs have been quiet and focused as kids have worked to finish testing. In addition, our Title I staff has been listening to every student read as they measure their Oral Reading Fluency and students have been completing their spring writing sample.

Tracking Progress
Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) testing in progress
Springtime reading and math and assessments are a great way to demonstrate and evaluate progress made over the course of the school year. All students are tested beginning in the fall, and again in the winter with the final round each spring.
The Bethel School District conducts these assessments to ensure students are making adequate progress over the course of each school year. By tracking and comparing the initial performance outcomes obtained in the fall with the results in the spring, teachers can easily see concrete evidence of core skill growth.
If you have questions about reading or math assessments, please talk to your student’s homeroom teacher or Prairie Mountain’s Reading Specialist, Brenda Kame’enui.
