i-Ready Diagnostic
All K-8 students will participate in the second computer-based i-Ready Diagnostic January 11 -29, 2021. Students participated in the first i-Ready Diagnostic in September 2020.
What is the i-Ready Diagnostic?
The i-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that shows which skills students have mastered and which skills need to be mastered. This assessment is NOT counted as a grade for the student's report card. It helps teachers provide the necessary classroom tools and supports for each student. The questions get more difficult or less difficult based on how each student answers until it finds the "just right" level; therefore, the goal is not to get every question correct. Once the "just right" learning level is determined, the student will be assigned a series of lessons that are just right for reading and math!

How will my child participate in the i-Ready Diagnostic?
All K-8 students will take the diagnostic on their assigned SCS device. Each school will communicate the schedule for taking the diagnostic so that the assigned teacher can monitor completion of the assessment.
