Hi LMS Families! With state testing approaching, we wanted to inform you of a few ways we use those results. At LMS, state test results are a significant reference point as we consider student placement in some of our advanced math and English classes as well as when we consider intervention needs. We also use these tests to help us identify focus points for our instruction throughout the year. As testing season approaches, please encourage your kids to always do their best!
