Jefferson Elementary Students gathered in the JEC Auditorium to celebrate the beginning of academic testing season. K-2 students have i-Ready Benchmark testing while grades 3-5 have General Summative assessments in English language arts and math. Grade 5 is additionally tested in the domain of science.
Students were given a “Pep Talk” by a variety of esteemed visitors – the administrative team, Santa Claus, the School Mascot Jaguar, Ghostbusters and Captain GSA.
Annually, the State of West Virginia has academic testing windows to provide families with updated academic information about their particular student. The information also provides administrators' a snapshot of where upcoming staff development should be concentrated in the upcoming year.
