Aims Web+ Winter Assessment All Rochester Elementary students (K-3) will be assessed in reading and math during January and into the first weeks of February. We use the Aims Web+ assessment three times a year (fall, winter, spring) in order to track growth. Students do NOT need to study for these tests at home. The information is used to identify students who score above, at, or below the benchmark goals at each grade level in reading and math. If you would like to know how your child scored, please contact the classroom teacher at the conclusion of the testing.
