CRCT Is Just Around the
Corner!
April 19-23, 2010
We are preparing our students in grades 1-5 for the 2010 CRCT
test, coming up in April. Please help by working with your
child at home. Help them do practice tests, which can be linked
from this website via the OAS (online assessment system). This
is great reinforcement of the skills they have been mastering
throughout the school year. The good work they’ve done all year,
their good school attendance, their attention to all the
important matters of school are working to well-prepare them for
these tests. The teachers are giving them practice opportunities
at school as well. We want to see ALL of our students do their
very best !! We’ll send more information to you as the date
approaches.
The
Criterion Referenced Competency Test includes items in the
following content areas: Reading, English/Language Arts,
Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. These tests are based
on the Georgia Performance Standards. The CRCT is designed to
measure the knowledge and skills taught in Georgia classrooms
and assess how well students have learned a specific curriculum.
First and second grades will test for three days taking the
Reading, English/Language Arts, and Math sections. Third
through fifth will take all five sections of the test over the
course of the week.
Third and fifth grade students must earn a score within a
certain range on the Reading and Math portions of the CRCT in
order to be promoted. Scores should be available in May. |
