i-Ready Reading & Math Assessment Window August 17-21, 2026
Red Cedar Elementary students will participate in the i-Ready Reading and Math assessments during the week of August 17-21. This assessment, previously known as the i-Ready Diagnostic, helps teachers better understand each student's strengths and learning needs so that instruction can be personalized to support growth throughout the school year.
Please help your child be successful by ensuring they:
- Get a good night's sleep
- Eat a healthy breakfast
- Arrive at school on time each day
We appreciate your support and look forward to using this information to help every student achieve their best!
