Each year, middle schools place students in advanced math and English classes based on multiple factors.  This year, one of those factors will be our Spring benchmark.  In order to ensure all students take this benchmark under the same conditions, students must come to the building to take this benchmark with one of our teachers.  If you do not want to be considered for advanced classes, you do not have to take this benchmark in person.


Below are the dates and times for students to come to Shafer Middle School to take their benchmark in person.  If you have any questions about these dates and times or the environment your student will be in when they take the benchmark, please reach out to us so we can help.
