Dear Families,
We would like to inform you that the Georgia Milestones Assessment System is used to assess students' proficiency in language arts, mathematics, and science based on the state-approved content standards. This assessment is given to students in grades 3 through 5 and includes end-of-grade assessments in each subject area.
To support your child in navigating the assessment platform, their teacher will provide them with online practice. The Georgia Milestone Assessment System includes various features such as open-ended items in language arts and math, a writing component in response to reading passages, and norm-referenced items in all subject areas to provide a national comparison.
We kindly request that you ensure your child attends school on test days and try to avoid any unnecessary absences. If your child is absent on a test day due to sickness, we will arrange for them to make up the test when they return. To help your child perform their best, we suggest encouraging them to do their best, getting them ready for school on time, making sure they get enough rest and eat a healthy breakfast, and bringing their fully charged Chromebook to school every day.
Please do not hesitate to contact us or your child's teacher if you have any questions. Thank you for your ongoing support.
Sincerely,
Mr. McBride, Principal
Dr. Claudette Lester, Assistant Principal
