A Message from Principal Martin about Forward Testing

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This time of year we are gearing up for our upcoming State tests. The Wisconsin Forward Exam is a state-wide exam designed to gauge how well students are doing in relation to the Wisconsin Academic Standards. These standards outline what students should know and be able to do in order to be college and career ready. The Forward Exam will be administered online when we return from Spring Break for both 4th and 5th grade. Students will be tested in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics. Grade 4 will also have science and social studies.

Please make sure your child is in attendance for these tests. Teachers will communicate in their newsletters the exact days of testing. Most testing will take place April 10th through April 24. Students will need headphones for portions of the test, so if they do not have them yet, please send them in ASAP so that your child can participate in the practice sessions.

A Day in the Life of a 4th Grader - Video

As part of our Joint #1 Board Goals on March 3rd, we will be hosting a University of Whitewater student to create a video called, “A Day in the Life of a Fourth Grader.” This film will be shown to third grade students and new students for years to come as part of our 3rd grade transition program. Our current 4th grade class will be featured, however, 5th graders will also be featured in the lunchroom, walking club, and other common areas. Fourth graders are writing the script of the film and will be doing the narration. If you do NOT want your child in the film, please let Mrs. Martin know at tami.martin@badger.12.wi.us or at 348-6000 x 6050
