Diagnostic Image

Beginning of Year Diagnostics start Next Week!

At the beginning of each school year, we use diagnostic assessments to measure where students are starting, track growth, and identify areas where they may need extra support. The fall diagnostic window opens September 2nd.
  • Elementary (K-5): i-Ready Reading & Math and 5th grade science
  • Middle School (6-8): i-Ready Reading & Math, Progress Learning Science & Social Studies
  • High School: Galileo diagnostics in End-of-Course (EOC) tested subjects
These assessments help teachers plan instruction and provide targeted support so every student can succeed.

Our New District Website has Launched!

We are excited to announce the launch of our new East Carter County R-II School District website, which is now ADA compliant! 🌐✨ While we are still in the process of updating a few pages, the transition has gone smoothly, and we are thrilled with the improvements. One of the best new features is the ability to share seamlessly between ParentSquare and Facebook, helping us connect more easily with our families and the wider community. We look forward to using this updated platform to keep everyone informed and engaged!
