Spring 2016 NWEA Testing

Catalyst Kindergarten-8th Grade scholars at Catalyst Circle Rock and Catalyst Maria will beging NWEA testing May 17, 2016! These tests demonstrate how much our scholars have learned during the 2015-2016 school year in Reading and Math (which is a TON!)! It is very important that scholars get a great night of rest, eat breakfast at school or at home, and know that they are going to do great from all of their supporters (parents, family, teachers, etc.)!  Please let the team at either campus know any questions you may have around these tests and we know that our scholars are going to do GREAT!!!
