Dear HS Distance Learning Parents,
As we approach the end of a school year unlike any other, we would like to share information on the expectations for students to participate in end-of-course testing next month. Unlike spring 2020, the state is requiring that students take the applicable end-of-course tests, which include:
- English II – Monday, May 24
- Biology – Tuesday, May 25
- Math I & Math III – Wednesday, May 26
Unfortunately, the state does not have an option for students to take these tests at home. Therefore, students will take these important end-of-grade assessments in person, at school, with health and safety protocols in place, including health screenings and masks.
We are committed to supporting all of our students as they progress through the curriculum and a key component is to identify our students’ current abilities. These end-of-the-year tests help provide valuable information that we need to help our students who are most in need this summer and plan instruction for all students next fall. Additionally, they count as 20% of the student’s final course grade.
The well-being of our students, teachers and communities remains our highest priority and we are confident we can administer these tests safely. If you have questions, please contact Mr. Funchess at mfunchess@lncharter.org.
