State Testing has been underway across Preston County, and the results are already coming in. If your student has taken their Math or Science Assessment (Grades 5 and 8 Only), then his/her results are available upon test completion. ELA could take up to 10 days, as some of the writing portion has to be hand-scored at the state level. At the end of this week, your student will be bringing home a letter with instructions to login to the testing portal results, as we no longer send paper copies home.

You will no longer be receiving a paper copy of your student’s state testing results. Those are now available online at the following website:

https://wv.portal.cambiumast.com/families.html

Once at the site, you will need to provide your student’s first name, date of birth, and 6-digit access code (provided above). Once you type in the information and hit sign-in, it will walk you through the rest. If you are having any issues or have any questions, please contact Justin Hough, Director of Child Nutrition, Communications and Testing at jhough@k12.wv.us, or 304-329-0580 x3234 between 7:30-3:30.

On Friday morning, our fourth grade students came one step closer to transitioning from Stags to Wildcats with the annual Step Up Day! Students were able to hear opening remarks from Principal Paul Martin and Dean of Students Katie Ware, listen to a performance by the Maroon Band, visit classrooms, and eat lunch in the cafeteria. Thank you to CPMS for welcoming us to campus!
