The students will take the interim (benchmark) exams on Monday, October 20 and Tuesday, October 22.  We will take the ELA and Math exams, respectively.  These exams show me what the students need help with so I can plan my lessons better.  The scores do not count against the students, but I told them to do the best they can and that it's ok if they don't know something.

Because of these exams, I had to push back the Social Studies Chapter 15 test.  The students will take the test on Wednesday, October 22 instead of Monday, October 20.  I apologize since I know the students studied hard this weekend.  But on the bright side: they have two extra days to study!

The next set of interim exams will be given in the beginning of February.  The actual New York State Exams will be given in April, right after Easter vacation.

The scores are used to help me help your children the best I can.  So please don't worry too much about these exams!
