A very sincere thanks to the entire community of USNS educators and for your efforts to improve instruction and math learning for all your students. Your passion, caring, and expertise is inspiring, and is what inspires and informs this project’s continual improvement efforts. Many of you shared feedback and corrections with our team. We listened to this feedback and incorporated your suggestions in this newest version of the assessment guide released in July 2023.

Additionally, there were updates made to assessments within the document. If you are planning to administer the 5th grade spring assessments or 6th grade midyear assessments, we strongly recommend reprinting those assessments, as two errors were fixed that were student-facing. Other errors that were made are listed below and relate to rubric, scoring clarifications, and alignment fixes.
