A note from Ms. René:

I realize that spending time on the computer working on standardized
assessments is not the way any child would prefer to spend their time in
school; AND, I am asking you all to do your best during this time. We
know that these assessments are but one measure of a child¹s educational
progress. These assessments provide a useful data point for teachers and
myself to assess student progress and be able to plan for future
instruction and programming.

Please set your child up for success by getting to bed early, eating a
good breakfast, and encouraging your child to do their best. If you would
like more information about SAGE testing, visit:
https://sageportal.org/resources/sage-general-information-fa/. If you
have questions or concerns, contact your child¹s teacher or myself
directly at 801-827-0150 or rbaker@mariamontessoriacademy.org.
