Dear Warroad Elementary Families:
Warroad Elementary students in Grades 3-6 will participate in MCA tests in the upcoming weeks. MCA’s (Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments) test whether students have achieved the state standards at their grade level. While this test is not mandatory, we encourage all students to participate. The MCA’s are used by ISD #690 for insight on academic instructional and resources focus. The Minnesota Department of Education uses MCA results to track our school’s annual accountability status.
Warroad Schools’ MCA testing schedule and further information can be viewed using the Student Life > Statewide Testing and Assessment tab on the school website: www.warroad.k12.mn.us
Reading (Grades 3-6): April 19-21, 2022
Math (Grades 3-6): April 26-28, 2022
Science (Grade 5): May 3-5, 2022
The best preparation for testing is the instruction your child has received throughout the year in his/her classroom. Through our own assessments, we know that the vast majority of our students have been proficient in learning the academic content of the standards at their grade level. We are also preparing our students for state testing by helping them develop test taking strategies and by familiarizing them with the format of the tests.
A few reminders for families before taking the exams:
Please encourage students to do their best and show what they know!
Remind students to have a positive attitude! It is key for students to approach MCA’s with confidence.
Please ensure that your child is well rested and ready to do his/her best work.
Students are encouraged to utilize personal headsets or earbuds for MCA testing.
A healthy meal before testing is important.
Students should be in school on time each day. Please make this a priority. Report all absences to the Elementary Office. Students absent during testing will make up the test on a later date.
If you have any questions about testing, please speak with your child's teacher, or contact the Warroad Elementary office at (218)386-6094.
The mission of the Warroad Public Schools is “Together WE create a future of excellence by providing a learning community that is personalized, innovative, and secure for all learners.” Partnering to help all kids learn, parents and school staff can have a profound and positive effect on the lives of our children.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Brita Comstock, Elementary Principal
The softball game vs TRF today has been postponed.
