Interim Assessments

These interims are:
Complementary to the existing formative assessments embedded in our curriculum;
Supported on a variety of digital platforms;
Can be administered within a class period or across multiple days;
The K-5 assessments are available for spring 2020, grades 6-8 (second edition) interims will be available for 2020-2021 school year.
