PARCC Testing 

PARCC Testing will occur this week. Preparation for the test is the best way for them to feel confident about the process. As you know we have taken the first round of PARCC Testing.  I recommend that students practice the ELA and Math practice test this weekend at home as well. Please continue to encourage your child to work on the online practice tests at home to make them more comfortable with the format and tools available on the test. 

A fun website to visit is Interactive English Language Arts and  Interactive Math.  This can help your child refresh their knowledge on prior concepts taught and expand on additional skills.  

There are three tests to be taken on three separate days: one ELA test and two Math tests. Please make sure your child has plenty of rest this week.

Testing Dates: May 4, 5, & 6

Testing Order: May 4--ELA 1,    May 5--Math 1,    May 6--Math 2

Testing Times: 4th-- Testing begins at 8:10 for 4th grade.  

Please try your best to not be late on these days, as we need to begin promptly.
