Look for it every week in your inbox! 🌳 News & UpdatesTHIS WEEK iReady Testing Week: This week, all 9th, 10th and 11th grades will work on completing the iReady in English and math. The assessment must be completed during an EA-proctored test session. We will be offering 4 sessions every day this week between 9am and 3pm.

Click on the EA name in the box that matches the time slot you are testing to enter the Zoom. Remember that student cameras must be ON and showing the student.
