Charleston Middle School had technical difficulties with the Illinois Science Assessment(ISA) browser today. For that reason, 8th grade students will be testing on Tuesday-Thursday for the ISA. This is a required state standardized test that requires that all students taking the test must take the test in person. For that reason, we are asking that your child be present at school for the testing windows. Below you will find the testing dates and times that your child needs to be present for each team. Your child will need to bring in their computer for this assessment.
8 Red- Tuesday, March 30th; Wednesday, March 31st; and Thursday, April 1st
9:45-10:55 A.M each day
8 Gold- Tuesday, March 30th; Wednesday, March 31st; and Thursday, April 1st
8:45-9:47 A.M each day
We realize that remote students will need time to travel from school back home and will allow time for them to return home to join their next class remotely. If students were to miss a session, our first make-up session will be scheduled for Tuesday April 6th at 8:45 A.M.
