March,
2008 MSA Testing
In March Students in
grades 3-5 will be taking the Maryland School Assessment on April 2, 3
(Reading), and April 8, 9 (Math). This state test is given to students to
comply with the No Children Left Behind (NCLB) Federal requirement. Last
year, we received the Maryland School Performance Recognition Honors for
the 2nd time in 3 years. We are very excited about this award,
and we know that the students will do even better this year. Make-ups are
permitted, but please make sure that your child attends school, and that
you stress with your child the importance of doing his or her best.
Students scores are divided into three categories: Basic, Proficient, and
Advanced, and you will get a report on how your child did with the fourth
marking period report card. Students in
Grades 1 and 2 will be taking the county third quarter test during the
week of March 17-20. Middleton
Owls Shine at Saturday,
February 23, proved to be a special day for Arthur Middleton Elementary.
Our grade four and grade five math teams coached by Mrs. Bartolomeo did a
