Dear Parents,
Please remember that we have started administering the Grade 3 Student Portfolio. The portfolio assessment consists of several reading passages and accompanying questions administered on a weekly basis. All students in grade 3 must complete the portfolio assessments and the results may be used to demonstrate reading proficiency to justify “good cause” promotion to grade 4, if specified criteria are met. It is imperative that students are in school on a daily basis so that they can prepare for the FSA. Thanks for your continuous support.
