Beginning tomorrow morning, Tuesday, February 4th, our campus will be giving the second round of our ATLAS Interim tests. This is our last practice round before we take the state ATLAS test in April.
It is vital that your student be at school and on time for these assessments. Testing will begin at 8:30 and will end around 10:30. Students who arrive late or who are absent will have to take make-up tests.
We will be testing all 9th and 10th graders on Tuesday and Wednesday in the areas of reading and writing. Thursday we will test all students who take Algebra I and Geometry. On Friday, all students taking Biology will be given the science assessment.
If you have any questions, you can call the school at 490-5700. Thank you for helping us have a successful testing week here at MUSHS!
