Warmer temperatures, longer days, and green grass are all signs that spring might finally be here! The arrival of spring also means we have reached the final quarter of our school year and the time our students get the opportunity to show all the amazing learning that has happened this year on end-of-year assessments.  Students in Grades 3-8 will participate in their end-of-year NSCAS (Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System) testing while students in grades K-2 and 9-11 will participate in the MAP Growth assessment.
