Dear Families,

Wiscasset School District’s assessment window opens this week. Over the next few weeks, our 3rd-8th and 10th graders will be participating in Maine’s Reading and Mathematics electronic Through-Year assessments.  Prior to taking these tests, students will learn about the structure of these assessments and become familiar with its embedded digital tools and resources. Once our state-mandated testing is complete, WES 1st and 2nd graders will be taking their Reading and Mathematics NWEA assessments.  Please refer to the attached documents for detailed overviews of these assessments.

Yours in education,

Lucy Preston
