From now until May 17, students in
grade 3-6 will be taking the Criterion Referenced Tests (CRTs). These tests
determine whether your child has mastered the Math, Language Arts, and Science
Core Curriculum for his/her grade level.
You can held your child do well on the test by doing the following:
¡ Ensure your student arrives well rested, relaxed, and prepared to
show what they have learned.
¡ Avoid cramming for these comprehensive tests.
¡ Help your child learn in a consistent manner throughout the year which
greatly improves long-term retention of concepts and skills. We don’t just want
students doing well on tests; we want them remembering the information and
being able to use it in meaningful ways for many years to come.
The concepts
learned during the elementary years are vital building blocks for the concepts that
will come in middle school, high school, and college.
