CRCT - Important Update!

Hello Wesley Family,

Beginning next Tuesday, April 17^th students will begin taking the CRCT assessment.  This assessment will determine how well students mastered the Georgia Educational Standards. Each day they shall be tested in a different subject area and each test will last approximately two hours. During the testing period visitors will not be allowed in the building. The testing period will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon everyday.

The CRCT Test Schedule:

Tuesday, April 17^th           Reading

Wednesday, April 18^th    Language Arts/English

Thursday, April 19^th         Math

Friday, April 20^th                Science

Monday 23^rd                      Social Studies

April 24^th-27^th                     Make-Ups

Snacks will be provided by the school this year in order to make certain every student receives a healthy and nutritional snack. If your child requires a special diet then they are welcomed to bring something from home.  During each break the students will be able to drink water while having their snacks.  If possible, please donate a water pack for the class. We will need water for each of the testing days.  Any remaining bottles of water will be used during field day.

It is very important for the students to have a positive testing experience; it is essential for them to go to bed early each evening and eat a substantial breakfast each morning.

Please have your child present and on time each day. Mr. Stephens has promised to take those students that are not absent or tardy during the CRCT bowling for the day.  Last year we had a great time and the students really enjoyed themselves.  Unfortunately a few of my students had to remain at the school because they did not meet the guidelines to participate. Let’s make sure the Superstars have 100% participation.

Please be sure to have your child continue practicing and reviewing for the CRCT.  They should have the following tools to assist them with the studying process: Coach Books (for each subject), flash cards, composition notebooks, practice packets, and Study Island.  If your child has achieved blue ribbons in all of the sections in Study Island they can review the lessons or re-do the practice test again.  They are able to access math, science, language arts/reading, and social studies. If your child has a specific area of concern, encourage them to review and practice those skills.

I know “My Girls” will do an awesome job next week. I am very proud of each and every one of them and I know they will strive to do their best.

Have a great weekend!
