Germantown School District Assessment Calendar

The link above will take you to a Google Calendar listing assessment timelines in the Germantown School District.  The Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exams (WKCE) are required by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI).  The timelines listed on the District Assessment Calendar may not align with the WI DPI testing window, but will not exceed the window.  The calendar is developed with the needs of the district in mind.  The Germantown School District uses assessments such as the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP), Ekwall/Shanker Reading Inventory (ERSI), phonemic awareness tests, running records, Gates, and writing assessments. 

Assessments list if there is a specific subject area or skill the assessment focuses on, as well as the grade level associated with the assessment.
