A Message from Principal Bivens

WOW! We are almost through the third quarter! This year has gone by FAST!

As we come back from Spring Break, we will kickoff State Assessments for 3rd-6th graders. All grades will take the English Language Arts and Mathematics State Assessments, with 5th graders taking the Science State Assessment as well. I know our students are going to ROCK THE TEST!

Below is the link to our State Assessment schedule. If your student is in 3rd-6th grades, please check the schedule to ensure they are present on the days they will be taking their assessment. Also, please ensure your student gets a good night's sleep and a good breakfast each morning before their assessment. Lastly, please ensure that your student has WIRED headphones, as BlueTooth headphones are not permitted for use per KSDE policy. Lastly, SmartWatches are not permitted to be worn during the State Assessments. If your student wears a SmartWatch, they will be asked to take it off and place it in their backpacks. This is also aligns with KSDE policy.

TNES 2025 State Assessment Schedule

As always, if you have any questions, concerns, and/or clarifications, please reach out to me at 785-379-5910 or BivensK@usd450.net. I am here to help!

Proudly Serving as YOUR Principal!
