Rapids Report 3-28-22

 The Rapids Report

March 28th, 2022

Dear STrEaM Families,


We’ve entered into testing season! Monday we begin the new State assessment, AK Star. See the testing schedule and full details below. AK STAR includes Reading and Math tests for grades 6, 7, and 8, done on separate days. 8th grade will still take the Science assessment as well. This test is created by NWEA, the same company that produces the MAP test. We expect the test to look and feel similar to MAP, providing familiarity for students. The alignment to MAP enhances our data and decision making. There are great new features and tools for students to use as well. 


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.
