Milestone testing was smooth sailing!  Thank you so much to the students for their perseverance, the parents for having children to school on time, the teachers for setting a solid foundation for students, and to Mrs. Meyer for the tremendous job she did organizing to make the testing days go smoothly!  As a school we use the results from the state required Milestone test to analyze areas of strength and weakness in our instructional program.  Using this data we are able to narrow down the results to specific standards that need more attention.  There's a great quote about data that goes something like this: data doesn't have all the answers, but it helps us know what questions to ask.
