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.
