Curriculum News From Mrs. Fewell The Shawe 7th and 8th-grade students have just completed their second round of NWEA testing in math and reading. This is a test we give to these students to track their progress. Students will be given their test results and will be given time to discuss their areas of strength and how they can work through the areas that need improvement. If you have a 7th or 8th-grade student, ask them about what they learned about their progress in math and reading.
