Please note the following CRCT testing dates for all grade levels:
April 16: Reading
April 17: Language Arts
April 18: Math
April 19: Science
April 20: Social Studies
Make-Ups will occur in the afternoons of testing days and from April 23-25
All testing will occur in the morning beginning promptly at 9:15 and concluding at approximately 11:30. Please plan Dr.'s appointments accordingly. Students cannot not enter the room once testing has begin and if they leave in the middle of testing they cannot make-up the section. What they have completed will be scored potentially resulting in a failing score. Our experience has been that students test best when in the regular testing environment so attendance during this week is imperative.
A reminder to 8th grade families: 8th graders must pass the reading and math sections in order to be promoted to the 9th grade. Students who fail one or both sections will be required to participate in a retest on June 27 (Reading) and/or June 28 (Math).
Please contact your child's counselor with any questions. Good Luck students!!
