Florida Standards Assessment Preparation

Dear Parents,

We wanted to give you some information about some changes in the ELA class. Beginning Monday, February 2, we will be modifying our Language Arts block to allow time for Florida Standards Assessment preparation. We will continue using Wonders materials, but will also be using other instructional materials until testing is over at the beginning of April. Please check your child's agenda book for major changes to their ELA homework. Even though the reading log homework will be suspended for now, students will still be required to meet their AR goal for this nine weeks. Students need to be present each day, for the entire day, and arrive on time to ensure that they do not miss this important information and practice. If your child arrives after 8:30 AM or leaves before 2:50 PM, they are missing out on academics. 


Here are some important testing dates to remember:
  • Tuesday, March 10th - FSA Writing Test
  • Monday, March 30 - April 2 - FSA ELA/Math Testing
With all the new material to cover, it is imperative that students be on their best behavior and prepared for class each day. We want do our best on the test! Your support is appreciated.
