Check-in Assessment for Year 8

School

Dear Parents and Carers,

Year 8 students will participate in a new reading and numeracy check-in assessment in Term 2, 2021.

The Check-in assessment is a NSW Department of Education online reading and numeracy assessment available to support schools to assess and monitor Year 8 student learning following the period of learning from home.

The Check-in assessments can supplement existing school practices to identify how students are performing in literacy and numeracy and to help teachers tailor their teaching more specifically to student’s needs.

The assessment will be scheduled for our Year 8 students from 27 April to 30 April 2021 (Week 2).

Students will be asked to bring headphones or earbuds that plug into a computer to enable them to hear audio during the assessments. Headphones/earbuds used for mobile phones or other portable devices may be suitable for use during the assessment. The type of computer connection needed is an audio jack or USB.

If your child needs headphones provided by the school, please contact Mrs Clarkson.
