Steep Blitz

Today we will be involved in our Steep Blitz. Every 9 weeks, Kennedy Road administers a Steep Blitz. Students are evaluated on

Reading Fluency
Reading Comprehension
Math Fluency
Math Computation

This data allows the teachers and administration to determine if students are in need of remediation or enrichment.

If you have any questions, please let me know at denise.cheek@gscs.org.
