M-STEP Schedule
April 4, 2018
Dear Families,
Below is the schedule for the M-STEP Test 2018. M-STEP, Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress, is a newly, designed standardized assessment given to grades 3- 8, and grade 11. This year the test window is April 9- May 1, 2018 for fifth-graders. Your fifth-grade child will be tested in the subject areas of ELA Reading, Mathematics , Social Studies and pilot Science. If your child is tardy or absent on a test day, he or she will have to make- up the missed part of the test on a rescheduled date. Keep a copy of the calendar posted or handy.
Info to Know:
- M-STEP is not a timed test.
- Having a peaceful night’s rest helps.
- Eating a balanced breakfast and lunch is important.
- Be mindful of the schedule as you plan appointments or early student pickups
- Homework assignments and some classroom assignments will decrease.
- No Homework, the day of a scheduled test.
We need your help! On the calendar are the types of food we will need. The count is 24. If possible, try to have the snacks in one day prior to the scheduled date. Avoid popcorn, as well as chocolate, nuts or tree nuts. All food must be labeled or store bought. Sample list is below. If you are able to send in a snack, send a note or email as soon as possible, subject line, M-STEP snacks along with the date.
Suggestions:
Breakfast: Fruit, cereal, bagels (cream cheese), yogurt, or a protein bar
Beverage: milk, 100% juice boxes or small, 8-oz bottled water Students should bring a reusable water bottle too. (No refills during the test.)
Healthy snack: sandwich crackers, fruit, pretzels, or yogurt
Gum: sugar-free, spearmint types (as needed) or peppermints
Snacks: Packaged treats ( Individually wrapped snacks) needed for make ups too
Paper products: bowls, napkins and spoons
Gratefully, Avery V. Hubbard
