Good afternoon 8th grade Patriot Partners:
8thGrade Placement Testing
A third placement testing day for our 8thGrade had been scheduled for Saturday, December 5, 2020. But due to the rising concerns of COVID-19 and in an effort to keep our families and staff safe, we have decided to postpone the final testing day until it is safer to do so. The placement test scores are just one of several metrics the district uses to place students. Other metrics include grades, NWEA scores, and teacher recommendations. The new test date will be Saturday, January 23, 2021. The deadline to sign up for the 8th-grade testing is Monday, November 30th. There are only 120 seats available.
