All 5-9YO students will take the survey the week of November 7th during Technology class and will retake the test at the end of the school year to assess growth. The CHEAKS survey results will be sent to each team lead and needs to be shared with their teammates so teachers can focus on teaching topics that are the most challenging or unknown to students.

Year Average Percentage of Points Scored on CHEAKS Survey 2013-14 53% 2014-15 58% 2015-16 63% By 2020-21, there needs to be a 20% increase in the average percentage of total points scored on the survey.
