AzSci and AASA Testing!

The AzSci (Arizona Science) and AASA (Arizona Academic Standards Assessment) tests are starting this week! These assessments are an important way to measure your child’s progress in key subjects like science, math, reading, and writing.    

AzSci Test: This will assess your student’s knowledge of scientific concepts, helping to evaluate their understanding of the world around them (5th and 8th grade students only).  

AASA Test: This includes both English Language Arts and Math assessments, focusing on academic skills aligned with Arizona’s standards.  Families can help by making sure your student comes to school each day on time. These tests are not just a way to measure academic progress, but also an opportunity for students to demonstrate their hard work and growth over the year. Let’s work together to ensure they’re ready to do their best!
