UPPER ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL MESSAGE TO PARENTS ABOUT NYS TEST
Good Morning Upper Elementary Families,
I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL spring break! Just a reminder that we will administer the New York State ELA Assessment next Wednesday, April 22nd and Thursday, April 23rd. We will begin the assessment right away each morning so I ask that you please have your child to school on time so that we do not disrupt the other students who have started the test. I encourage parents to have their child participate in the two day assessment as it is one of many various points of data we use to plan future instruction. If you plan on opting your child out, please write a note or email myself/main office as we need to have documentation on file.
I also ask that you please make sure your child charges their Chromebook the night before as they will be taking the assessment on the Chromebook.
Our kiddos are going to do awesome on this assessment! The students and staff have worked so hard this year!
Have a WONDERFUL week!
Mr. Haskell
