Dear 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade Parents/Guardians:
This spring the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be taking the M-STEP (Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress)
test. This will replace the MEAP test that students have taken in years past.
In order to help your child excel on the M-STEP test, make sure they are present and on time on testing days, that they
have had a good night’s sleep, and a nutritious breakfast (available to all students for free in our cafeteria).
All grades (3rd through 5th) will be tested in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In addition, the 4th graders will take
the Science test and the 5th graders will be tested in Social Studies.
As all tests will be administered first thing in the morning, it is very important that students are on time. Please avoid
making appointments on your child’s testing dates. All students who are present and arrive on time each of the scheduled
test days will enter their name for a gift card drawing at the end of the testing schedule. The name of one boy and one girl
from each grade level will be drawn. So make sure they are here and on time! Test dates are:
5th Grade:
Monday, April 13th – ELA Classroom Activity
Tuesday, April 14th – ELA Day 1
Wednesday, April 15th – ELA Day 2
4th Grade:
Monday, April 27th – ELA Classroom Activity
Tuesday, April 28th – ELA Day 1
Wednesday, April 29th – ELA Day 2
Tuesday, April 21st – Math Day 1
Wednesday, April 22nd – Math Day 2
Friday, April 24th – Social Studies
Tuesday, May 5th - Math Day 1
Wednesday, May 6th – Math Day 2
Thursday, May 7th – Science
3rd Grade:
Monday, May 18th – ELA Classroom Activity
Tuesday, May 19th – ELA Day 1
Wednesday, May 20th – ELA Day 2
Wednesday, May 27th – Math Day 1
Thursday, May 28th – Math Day 2
It is important that your child does his/her best on the test. Please build their confidence with your positive attitude. If
you have any questions regarding M-STEP or the schedule listed, please call Roosevelt at 810-984-6525.
Thank you,
