ISASP testing is underway at Sheldon Middle School. The Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) is the annual spring accountability test for Iowa students.
Getting a good night’s sleep, eating a healthy breakfast, and arriving at school on time can help students feel focused, confident, and ready to do their best. We encourage all students to stay positive, try their hardest, and show what they have learned. You’ve got this - go Orabs!

Engaged minds. Active learning. Strong leaders. Every day in our classroom is an opportunity to explore, create, and grow. Way to go Orabs!
