FSA Testing 2015

We are just one week away from testing and I wanted to update you on a few things. First off, the original testing schedule has changed per administration here at Gorrie. Instead of testing Monday and Tuesday each week for the next three weeks, it has been decided that here at Gorrie, we will move the testing up to get it finished early.

The new schedule will look more like this:

Monday/ Tuesday (April 13th-14th): FSA ELA Test
Wednesday/ Thursday (April 15th-16th): FSA Math Test
Monday Tuesday (April 20th-21st) FCAT Science Test

1.  Please ensure that your students are here no later than 8:00 am so that we can get them unpacked, focused and ready to begin testing.  If you come during the testing time, the class will not be disturbed for them to be removed from the class.
2.  Please make sure they get plenty of rest each night.  We will have no HW for the next two weeks (other than to read nightly), so they shouldn't be up late working on school work.
3.  Please make sure they receive a healthy breakfast each morning to ensure they remain focused during the tests.
Thank you for your help!  Our kids are ready!  Have a great week!
