Dear 3rd and 4th Grade Distance Learning Parents,
As we approach the end of a most unusual school year, we would like to share information on the expectations for students to participate in end-of-year testing next month. Unlike spring 2020, the state is requiring that all 3rd and 4th grade students take the reading and math end-of-grade tests (EOGs). These tests are Tuesday, May 18 and Thursday, May 20.
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 recovering any learning loss that has occurred in these last 13 months and the first step 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 next fall. Therefore, please confirm that your child will be present on May 18 and May 20 to take the tests by emailing your child’s teacher by May 10.
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 Ms. Holland at mholland@lncharter.org.
