Dear Principals:
As some registration dates for Middle Schools have shifted to earlier in the year, it is important that we seek to accommodate their efforts. As a result, we ask that the HMH RI (formerly SRI) and Reading Benchmark 1 be administered no later than Jan 15 where possible. We realize this is a week earlier than advised in the Testing Bulletin, and appreciate your flexibility and commitment to helping our team members across the district succeed.
As a reference, the following Rubric will be used for providing reading data to Middle Schools for the transition from 6th to 7th Grade.
Thank you for all of your hard work.
