Flex testing days are two days in the fall and two days in the spring where students in grades K-6 attend by appointment only. Dates are scheduled independently by each elementary school in Jeffco.These days are used for teachers to conduct in depth reading assessments in a one on one setting with each inpidual student in order to ensure instruction and intervention are aligned to students' needs and ability levels as well as to assess progress over time. Teachers send Sign-Up Geniuses toparents/guardians approximately 2 weeks prior to testing.
