A MESSAGE FROM OUR SCHOOL PRINCIPAL:
Pontiac Families,
On May 14th, 15th, and 16th third, fourth and fifth grade students will be administered the SC READY state assessment in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The SC READY measures students’ performance on the South Carolina Academic Standards, with test results being used for school, district, and federal accountability purposes. The test is untimed and will be administered online and using paper/pencil (ELA only). The testing schedule will be:
Tuesday, May 14th- SC READY ELA Session One Test/Writing
Wednesday, May 15th- SC READY Session Two Test/Reading
Thursday, May 16th- SC READY Mathematics Test
In an effort to make testing go smoothly please ensure that your child gets a good night’s sleep each night prior to the test and is at school no later than 8:10 am each morning. Testing will take place during the first portion of each day. It is our expectation that each student does his/her personal best during testing.
Students who are absent during testing will be administered make-up tests. Please avoid scheduling any appointments and early dismissal on the days of testing.
If you have any questions regarding testing please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or Mrs. Savage, the school testing coordinator.
Thank You
