Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we enter the spring semester, I am sharing important information about our upcoming state and district testing schedule. These assessments help measure student progress, improve instruction, and support every student at Betsy Ross Arts and Design Academy.
Testing Details:
- Tests: Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) and district progress monitoring.
- Schedule: From May 4th with 8th-grade Science, then all grades in Math and Reading over three weeks.
- Purpose: Provide a "snapshot" of student learning aligned with state standards.
How to Help Your Child:
- Ensure they get enough rest.
- Provide a nutritious breakfast.
- Make sure they arrive on time.
- Encourage a positive attitude.
Thank you for supporting your child’s education. We are proud of our students' efforts and look forward to their success.
Best regards,
