May 30 th is the Language Arts section and May 23 rd is Math. June 1 st is Religion. Four core subjects are tested and they include: Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Students typical experience a lot of anxiety and pressure about these tests and we would like to encourage everyone to reassure students that is only one test on one day for a couple hours and is only reflective of that one day, not their entire academic accomplishments thus far. It is good preparation for moving on to Junior High and helps the system evaluate if things are appropriate and fair. d. Progress Reports- Will be going home June 28 th, the final day of school. Families may be able to get them earlier if they will not be here on that day. They will need to send a self-addressed envelope if leaving really early so they can be mailed out.
