Our school has purchased Scantron’s Achievement Series to make the administration of common formative assessments easier. Tech Team member Marc S. will be heading up the implementation of this “web-based assessment solution” with assistance from fellow Tech Team member Jason F. Many thanks to both of them for graciously volunteering for this duty!

For those of you interested in learning more about this assessment tool, check out the website at http://www.achievementseries.com/!
