The Rapids Report

March 21st, 2022

Dear STrEaM Families,

We’ve entered into testing season! This week our staff will do training on the new Alaska State Assessment, AK STAR. Next week, on Monday 3/28, we will begin proctoring this assessment. There is a Reading and Math test, done on separate days, and 8th grade will still take the Science assessment as well. As far as standardized testing goes, I am excited about this one because it is from NWEA, the same company that produces the MAP test. I expect a lot of alignment to MAP and there are great new features and tools for students to use.

Please mark Friday, April 22nd on your calendars There is NO SCHOOL that day for STrEaM ONLY, due to the Wayland Baptist spring graduation. It is a professional development day for staff.

March is Women’s History Month! Join us in recognizing, celebrating and learning more about women who made a difference in our world.
