Happy Monday! This week will begin with our students starting to test on the new Common Core Standards. Below is the schedule for CCSS testing:
- April 14-18- 6th grade
- April 21-25- 5th grade
- April 28-May 2- 4th grade
- May 5-9- 3rd grade
As with all testing, please make sure your children get a good nights sleep and eat a good breakfast prior to starting their day. As a reminder breakfast is available to all students before school in our cafeteria. As we’ve discussed previously students will be taking all CCSS assessments on a provided computer. Most testing will last for the first 3 to 4 hours of school, so please do your best to make sure they arrive on time and are not taken out of school early. Also remember that the school will not be receiving results of this years tests. This is the states opportunity to identify the challenges we may face with this new assessment and get those problems solved. If you have any concerns or questions regarding testing please contact Principal Mora.
