News and Information
NWEA
In the fall of this school year, students in Ann Arbor took a test call the Northwest Educational Assessment (NWEA). They will take the test again in January and once more at the end of the school year. The results of the test are used by teachers to understand the growth a student has made as well as areas the student needs additional practice.
In case you didn’t know, NWEA also has a “Parent Toolkit” that explains the assessment as well as provides websites for children to use for additional practice. The toolkit can be found at the following link: http://www.aaps.k12.mi.us/ins.technology/nwea
If you would like a printed copy of the toolkit, please call the school office and we’ll send a copy home.
Happy New Year!
We are all back to Mitchell and are ready for 2012. We appreciate the support of our families as we continue to work on making Mitchell School the best it can be.
Please call, email or stop by if you have questions.
