Each spring, usually during the month of April, 2nd and 3rd grade students have the opportunity to show what they know during ACAP Summative testing. In addition to the learning they do every day, students will be preparing for state testing by participating in ACAP practice testing at the end of January. ACAP practice testing will closely mirror ACAP Summative testing conditions. As we approach testing season, keep the following in mind:
- What happens outside of school impacts what happens inside of school. Making sure children have a good night's sleep and are on time for school are two critical ways parents can have a positive impact on their child's academic success.
- Personal electronic devices are not allowed in the room during testing. Please keep electronic devices home during this time. If this is not possible, please ensure that your child keeps the device powered off and in their backpack during the school day. Devices will be confiscated and tests can be invalidated if they are found on students during ACAP testing.
- E-learning days will not be granted for 2nd and 3rd grade students during the testing window. Please make every effort for your child to be at school on test days.
- Third graders who do not demonstrate sufficient reading skills on the ACAP Summative test may be retained.
if you have any questions about your child's academic progress or about ACAP testing, feel free to reach out to your child's teacher or to me for more information.
I look forward to a semester of excellent teaching and learning and to another successful testing season!
