Galileo Benchmark Testing

Next week, 2^nd-5^th grade students will participate in the first round of Galileo benchmark testing in English and math. These network-wide computer-based assessments will require students to use their headphones, so please ensure that your child has brought their pair to school. Keep in mind that these tests are not counted toward students’ grades. While we never focus solely on numerical data points to measure students’ academic growth, the results from these benchmark assessments will be used to inform teachers of areas for support and enrichment for their students.

The testing schedule is as follows:

5th grade - Monday, August 22

4th grade - Tuesday, August 23

3rd grade - Thursday, August 25

2nd grade - Friday, August 26
