A Family Prayer by Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of our family. Enlighten our hearts and minds
that we may live more fully this vocation to love.
In our daily life and work, may we reflect the self-giving love which you, O Father,
eternally show with your Son and the Holy Spirit.
Let your love be evident in the peace that reigns in our home and in the faith we
profess and love. May our family always be a place of generosity, understanding,
forgiveness and joy.
Kindly give us the wisdom and courage to be witnesses to your eternal design for the
family; and grant that the Holy Family of Nazareth may always guide our path to
holiness as a family.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen

Interim Assessments
-The Smarter Balanced interim assessments
allow teachers to check student progress
throughout the year, giving them actionable
information to inform instruction and help
students meet the challenge of college- and
career-ready standards.

-Teachers can use the interim assessments

throughout the year to gauge student
progress toward mastery of the skills
measured by the summative assessment
and to assess targeted concepts at strategic
points during the school year.
