Parents of 3rd-8th graders! We have a few big weeks of testing ahead.
Kids all across the state, including ours, will be taking the Smarter Balanced Assessments in the coming weeks. Your child will be taking this computer based summative assessment in the areas of English and Math. 5th & 8th Graders are also taking the Science Assessment.
Each grade will be testing over a period of two week with apx one hour of testing each day. It is imperative that your child is here during testing. Attendance is important! Students who are not here during testing will have to miss class time to make up the assessment. It’s also important that your child eat healthy fulfilling meals and get a good night’s rest prior to each testing day. Our lumberjacks are going to do great!
Feel free to contact me with questions. Katie Cotner, School Counselor kcotner@bonner.k12.mt.us 406.258.6151
Here is the following test schedule:
3rd Grade – April 4-7 & April 11-14
4th Grade- March 7-10th & March 14th-17th
5th Grade- April 4-7 & April 11-14

Mrs. Burgess’s 2nd grade class spent all of 2-22-22 celebrating the once-in-a-lifetime date! We practiced alliteration, two-syllable words, words with double consonants and double meanings… and so much more! Being in 2nd grade on 2-22-22 is a big deal!
