The first week of Georgia Milestones testing in
grades 3 and 5 was very successful. 5th grade will still be
testing on Monday and Tuesday in addition to make-ups. We will maintain a quiet testing environment
from 8:00 a.m. – approximately 11:00 a.m. each day and will not be accepting
any volunteers during that time. Thank you for ensuring your child is at school
on time, well rested and prepared to do his/her best. Please be advised that your
child's specials times might be modified based on the testing day. 4th
graders will be testing on May 6 - May 10. If you have any questions,
please contact our testing coordinator, Erin Nusnbaum.
