Beginning on Monday students in Lower School will be administered standardized tests.  The assessments given this year will be the same as in the past, but the testing window will be extended.  This extension allows more flexibility in meeting accommodations for students.  It also enables teachers to be better able to continue regular instruction throughout the testing window.

Students in grades 1 through 4 will be taking modules from the CTP5.  The results of these assessments enable us to track group and individual progress as well as inform instruction for teachers.  Students in kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 4th grade will be administered the OLSAT (Otis Lennon School Ability Test).

Our testing schedule is as follows:

(unless indicated all testing will occur prior to lunch)

There is nothing for your child to do to prepare aside from getting a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast to start the day. You will be notified about the results of these assessments when they become available.

Thank you for your continued support.

Dr. Brian K. Peters

Head of Lower School
