Dear Parents/Guardians,
Woodroe Petty Elementary will be administering Benchmark Tests next week, March 23rd through March 25th. We are asking that all students, including Remote Learners, participate in the Benchmark Tests on campus since STAAR testing will only be administered on campus later this Spring. Even though the State of Texas will not issue Accountability Ratings for schools for the 2020-2021 school year, schools and students must still meet State and Federal testing requirements. The testing data, along with other campus data, will be used to determine instructional decisions for individual students.
Below is the testing schedule for our campus.
-Tuesday, March 23-Math Benchmark: Third, Fourth and Fifth Grades
-Wednesday, March 24-Reading Benchmark: Third, Fourth and Fifth Grades
-Thursday, March 25-Science Benchmark: Fifth Grade
We will have makeup testing on Friday, March 26th.
Please make sure your student is on time for school and try not to schedule doctor’s or other appointments during benchmark testing days. Once we have finished with the four hours allotted to test, Remote Learners may be picked up by parent/guardian.
Thank you for your assistance with this round of testing. We appreciate your support in helping to continue to educate our students during these times.
Sincerely,
Larry Cantu Jr.
Principal
Woodroe Petty Elementary
Taft ISD
