Parents are encouraged to check homework and have students make corrections. Most importantly fourth graders need to know multiplication facts!!!!!!!

The Test! 4 th graders will be taking a Missouri standardized test in the Spring. This standardized test is to measure student achievement by assessing student's level of performance as well as knowledge.
