Cabarrus County Schools Plan B Intentions Transition Survey

“Your student will be taking the iReady Diagnostic assessment(s) on Thursday 9/10 and Tuesday 9/15. If you student is in 6th or 7th grade they will be taking both assessments. If your student is in 8th grade they will only be taking the ELA assessment this Thursday and on Tuesday 9/15 they will have a regular, synchronous school day.
The iReady assessments are scaffolded, which means that the questions will become more challenging or easier depending on how each student is performing. The program adjusts itself based off the student’s needs and no two tests will be alike. It is very important that you do not assist your student with this assessment so that the teachers can figure out where the gaps are in your student’s education due to COVID-19. There will be questions on this diagnostic that are “too hard” for your student and that is normal, it is scaffolded. Our goal with these diagnostic assessments is to figure out exactly where your student is so that we can tailor our instruction to meet their needs in the coming months.
Normally these tests would be given in the classroom but due to remote learning we will be monitoring students' computers using Dyknow and students will be required to have their video cameras on for the duration of the assessment. Teachers will be reviewing these expectations this week in homeroom.
If you have any questions, please contact Logan Barrier, our Dean of Students, or Misty Little, our Skills Plus teacher.”

Our Newest Tiger!!!
We had some concerning signs of potential predators checking out the school goats. To keep our goats safe Four Acres Farm of Mt. Pleasant provided a guardian donkey! Donkeys are great at protecting livestock from dogs and coyotes. We are excited to have Daisy May join us at MPMS!
