All 7th grade students will be taking the VBCPS Spring Integrated Performance Task (IPT) assessment on Wednesday, March 25th. The IPT serves as a real-world application and measure of the key skills that our students need to be successful in the 21st Century. Students are asked to demonstrate critical thinking, problem solving, and communication in this challenging, problem-based assessment. Results are analyzed by the school division and IMS staff to determine our areas of strength and weakness as compared to all 7th graders across the school division.
