Tomorrow begins our mandatory state testing known as PARCC.
Please refer to the PARCC website or
the Colorado
Department of Education website for more information on this test.
Students will take the test on the following days for the
indicated class periods. They will be in their regular classes otherwise.
Tuesday, March 22
Testing: Periods 1-3 |
Friday, March 25
Testing: Periods 1-2 |
Thursday, March 24
Testing: Periods 3-4 |
Monday, March 28
Testing: Periods 1-3 |
On days students test during period 1, they will not be
allowed into class if they arrive late, and will need to sit in the office
until a time is determined that they can enter the class without disrupting
other students. All missed state tests are mandatory to be made up unless your
child has been opted out. If your child misses state testing and has not been
opted out, they will miss class to make up the test and need to make up missed
classwork as well. It is much easier to
be on time and present each testing day.
Please be sure your child gets to bed at a decent time, has
a good breakfast, brings headphones or earbuds, and leaves their phone OFF and
in their lockers during testing. Encourage them to do their best and that their
best IS good enough! Do not stress the test! They are well-prepared as long as
they try hard and focus.
Please note: there will NOT be Language Arts homework
assigned the nights before PARCC testing.
