We have begun to prepare for the Spring Georgia Milestones Assessment –The dates for this test are April 17 – 20. It is VERY important that our students are AT SCHOOL EVERY DAY before the test and during the testing days. We are reviewing every day and it will only help the student if they are at school. Remember this is a GATE year in Math and Reading. Students need to do their very best in order to have a successful outcome.
