Hello Trailblazer Families,  Our 4th and 5th grade students have been hard at work taking the iReady diagnostic this past week. The rest of our students will take this diagnostic after winter break. The iReady diagnostic is taken three times throughout the year. We as a staff use the data from this diagnostic to plan intervention and extension for our students.
