Below are the test dates for this school year:

5th grade MathApril 179:15-10:15
5th grade MathApril 189:15-10:15

These tests are one measure of whether students are meeting the state standards in these subject areas. They will provide an indication of whether students are “on grade level” based on state expectations. We will use the results to monitor achievement of students and to plan curriculum and instruction. The state and federal government use the results for accountability (to determine if schools and LPS are doing a good job helping students meet expectations). Parents will receive a score report for their students with the results in the late summer or early fall.

There are several things you can do to positively contribute to your child’s success.  Encourage your child to put forth their best effort with positive statements expressing confidence in their abilities and their efforts. A good night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast will go a long way to help your child best show what they know and are able to do on the test. Finally, being in school during testing is very important. Please reschedule any appointments that may take your child out of school on the testing dates listed above.  As always, we appreciate your support!

Please call me at 402-436-1169 or email at mcochran@lps.org if you have any questions about the NSCAS testing, your child’s classroom testing schedule or other test administration questions. 

Sincerely,

Melissa Cochrane

Zeman Coordinator
