Students in grades 3-5 will participate in the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR).

The IAR helps schools track long-term trends and address opportunity and achievement gaps among all student groups.

This assessment allows us to evaluate how well students are learning and progressing compared to their peers across the state.

The tasks that students will be required to complete on the exams call for:

• critical thinking

• problem-solving

• the ability to synthesize information from various sources

• provide evidence and reasoning when making an argument or solving a math equation.

Please make sure you support your child’s education by sending them to school daily. Encourage your child to do their best on the exam. Proper rest and nutrition are critical to their educational success!
