CRCT
Dear Parents,
All first through fifth grade students will be taking the CRCT (Criterion-Referenced Competency Test). * First and second graders will be testing April 19th through April 21st. *Third through 5th graders will test April 19th through April 23rd. The purpose for this test is to obtain information that will help us diagnose individual student strengths and weaknesses, and to gauge the quality of education throughout Georgia. We have been working very hard this year preparing your child to do his/her best. There are several things you can do to help us.
You can contribute to good test performance. Please help us with the following:
• Make sure your child arrives on time for school. Try not to schedule any appointments for your child the mornings of the test.
• Make sure your child is well rested. During testing, it might be a good idea that they go to bed earlier. Children who are tired are less likely to pay attention in class or to handle the demands of a test.
• Make sure your child eats a good breakfast. A healthy body leads to a healthy, active mind.
• Make sure your child feels your support. Encourage them to do their best. But try not to be overly anxious about the test scores. Too much emphasis can be upsetting to children.
• If your child wears an assistive device, such as a hearing aid and/or glasses, be sure he/she remembers to bring it and wear it during all testing sessions.
• Lastly, please be mindful that testing sessions cannot be interrupted. If a student arrives after testing has begun, they will have to remain in the office until the session is over. Also keep in mind that a student may not be signed out during a test session.
We have very high expectations!! I know if we work together, we will excel. Remember, “Jordye Bacon Always Buzzes With The Best!!”
Thanks for all you do.
