Room 503 AIMS High

...or at least we will be for a few days this week and a few days next.

That's right: the AIMS tests are getting underway, beginning tomorrow. This Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday AIMS testing will take place for one to two hours every day during our regular school day.

Neither Mrs. Veenstra nor myself brought this up to the students prior to today, as we do not teach to the test and talking about the test ahead of time only seems to lead to needless anxiety.

Tomorrow's testing includes two hours of writing. We will be giving the test in the morning when students are more apt to be bright and alert, and the students will have their usual morning break following the test.

Regular assignments will be given during these two weeks of testing as there will be no extra studying for the AIMS tests.

Cheers,
Ms. Pitman
