Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) - During the week of April 15th, all Cedar Falls 3rd-6th grade students will take the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) tests. These tests will replace the Iowa Assessments. In addition, these will be taken digitally using our Chromebooks. Students and families can take advantage of online practice tests to help students prepare. We have been working to help prepare our students during school. Please help our students to be ready by ensuring they are rested, fed and come to school with a positive mental attitude. We ask that families ensure students are at school and appointments are avoided during this week. Last, we will ask students to leave home electronic devices or be prepared to turn in to staff during testing. If you have questions, please let us know!

A few reminders as our weather improves! Please make sure that you follow our daily dismissal plans. Our staff appreciate the chance to prepare for the next day when our students are picked up in a timely manner. Last, if you choose to allow your students to play on the playground after dismissal, they should be under your direct supervision. If they are not with an adult, they should not be on our playgrounds. This ensures that all students are safe! Thank you!
