Dear Parents,
Michigan’s new Assessment System, the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP), is an online test and was developed by the Michigan Department of Education’s Office of Standards and Assessment.
The M-STEP will be administered in April and May of 2018 at O.L. Smith, I have attached the schedule.
It includes state summative assessments designed to measure student growth effectively and to measure their knowledge of Michigan’s academic standards in English language arts (ELA), Math, Science, and Social Studies. English language arts and mathematics will be assessed in grades 6–8, science in grade 7, and social studies in grade 8.
As partners in your child’s education, we are asking for your help in reminding your child of the importance of taking their time and giving their best effort on these assessments. Several factors have an influence on test outcomes. Please encourage your child to attend school every day and do their VERY BEST on the test!! That being said, please take a few moments to review the simple, yet important test taking tips below.
