In-person Vouchers!

Visions is excited to announce that beginning Monday, 3/22/21, we are permitting in person enrichment services for Community Partners! Visions has consulted with each county in our nine-county service area, our legal counsel, and many other stakeholders prior to this decision. Based on this input, Visions has created specific practices and procedures to allow Community Partners to again offer in person services to our families. A direct email to all families announcing this will be sent on Monday, 3/22/21.

Testing Update (Grades 3-8 and 11)

 

Visions began testing some students on Monday March 8th. It has been pretty successful so far. There have been some technical issues, but overall, students found the process relatively easy and many really enjoyed being able to test at home. 

I tested 4 students. They all did a fantastic job! 

Our major testing window is April 19-22. Thank you for signing up for testing days!

Now the only things left to do are:
  • Download the secure browser and make sure you can open it
  • Practice

Practicing for testing

The best way to prepare for testing is to practice!
You can go to the Caaspp site and do the practice tests on your own at any time. You don't need the secure browser installed to to this.

Want to practice together?
I am setting up "Interim" testing blocks for Monday, April 5th between 11am and 2pm.
These will be short testing practices in one of the testing sections for Language Arts (Research) and one section for Math (Geometry). These will be set up as "non-standardized" which means you can help your student take the test. The interim tests should only take 20 - 30 minutes.

If you would like your student to take the Interim tests on Monday, April 5, please fill out this form so I can send you information and updates via email.
