PASS Testing

On Tuesday, May 12th we will begin our second round of PASS testing. PASS stands for the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards. Our students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade will participate in this state-wide testing. This round will include testing in English/Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. Students in 4th grade will take all four tests while students in 3rd and 5th grade with take ELA, Math, and either Science or Social Studies. Students will also participate in field testing next week.
Mrs. Simmons, our Assistant Principal for Instruction, and I have met with the students who are participating. We have encourage them to do their best and they have signed a "PASS Pledge" stating they will do so. If you have a child participating in testing, please encourage them to work hard and give their best efforts. Our teachers, staff, students and families have worked hard to prepare for testing and now it is time to show what we know.
