NAEP
Thomas Jefferson Middle School has been selected to participate in the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often referred to as the Nation’s Report Card. NAEP is a program of the United States Department of Education and is an ongoing assessment of what our elementary, middle, and high school students know and can do in various academic subjects. The NAEP assessment will take place on February 2, 2017. A random sample of our grade 8 students have been selected to take the mathematics or reading assessment using tablets with keyboards or a paper-and-pencil version of the test. Letters were sent home to parents of those children selected. The assessment will take 120 minutes. Students do not need to study in preparation for NAEP; however, we do ask you to encourage your child/children to do their best on this important assessment. If there is a weather-related issue or other interruption occurs on the assessment date, the assessment will be rescheduled as soon as possible.
