Dear Parent:
Wisconsin Students in Grades 6-8 will be participating in the Forward
assessment during the Spring testing window. Sixth Grade students are scheduled to take the Forward assessment on
March 20th and April 3rd and the 10th. Seventh
Grade students will test March 21st and April 4th and the
11th. Eight Grade Students
will test March 21st and April 4th, 11th, 17th
and the 18th.
The Forward assessment tests students in the areas of Reading,
Math and for Eight Grade Science and Social Studies. One or more subtests may be administered
daily during the identified time frame and it is very important that your son
or daughter be in school during this time. Students not in school on the
scheduled testing days will be scheduled for a make-up test prior to the close
of the testing window.
Enclosed is an Informational
Brochure for Families which gives more information about the assessment
including its purpose, what scores
will be provided, and how the scores will be used.
The Forward assessment measures the knowledge and skills your
student(s) should have acquired by the time they reach each grade level. Their
performance on the assessment will not affect any of their current grades.
Please encourage your son or daughter to take the test seriously and do the
best they can. The results of these tests will be used to help school staff
make determinations or placement in classes to best support your child(ren).
If you have any questions, please contact Steven Hill at 920-929-6900.
Thank you,
Steven Hill
Principal
