D25 PARCC Update

Third through eighth grade students across school District 25 will take the PARCC standardized assessment in both English/language arts and math in March and again in May. The PARCC test is aligned to the new Illinois state standards and replaces ISAT, the previous state assessment. For the March session, grades 3 and 6 will take the computer-based version of the assessment while grades 4, 5, 7 and 8 will use the paper version. This is a new assessment and process for all of our staff and students and will require training and flexibility. We will continue to communicate updates with you as they develop.
