Memo Text

The preliminary testing dates for the 2021-2022 school year have been set.  All testing must take place on or during the specified testing window.  The dates for the required assessments at grades K-12 are indicated on the attached testing calendar.

 

Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) will be administered to qualifying students in each grade 3-10.  Math and ELA are required on the DLM in both the fall and spring windows.  Science is required only during the spring window, but it is recommended that students be given the opportunity to take the science testlets during the fall windows.  These scores will not contribute to the summative score.

 

There are two dates available for initial cohort testing for the ACT at grade 11.  Each district must choose one of the windows in which to conduct initial cohort testing. 

 

All districts will continue to administer their current K-2 assessments through 2021-2022.
