AzMerit at VM
On November 2014 the Arizona State Board of Education adopted a new statewide assessment, AzMERIT, for Arizona students. Throughout the month of April, all the 3rd-6th grade students at Village Meadows will be taking the ELA Reading, Writing and Math tests from AzMERIT. The Arizona Science Standards did not change, so students in 4th grade will still take the AIMS Science test.

Since the AzMERIT will be completely administered online, we will be setting up different computer labs at Village Meadows and each grade level will be assigned different days for take each of the tests. It is critical that every child is at school and prepared to take their tests on their assigned days.
