ILEARN Family Information

ILEARN Testing Beginning April 22nd

Later this month, students will take ILEARN assessments in math (grades 6-8), language arts (grades 6-8), and science (grade 6). Students have completed rigorous coursework throughout the year to prepare them for these assessments. We are confident that our EMS students will perform well on these assessments!

  • Students in grades 7-8 will complete ILEARN for a portion of each day from April 22nd thru 25th.
  • Students in grade 6 will test on these same dates, with an additional day of science ILEARN on April 29th.
Students will have five of their seven regularly scheduled classes on these days, with the remainder of the time allotted for testing to be completed.

Students with additional time and small group accommodations, along with those who may need to complete make-up tests, may at times complete ILEARN testing between April 22nd thru May 9th. ILEARN data will be shared with families near the end of the school year as soon it becomes available.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Lunsford. Thank you!
