TerraNova Time!

Dear Parents,

On November 5th and 6th, 2008, your child will participate in the TerraNova Achievement Test. For those new to this type of assessment, the TerraNova is a standardized test designed to provide schools with the information they need to best help their students.

The areas being assessed will be Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics. The results of these tests will be used to analyze strengths and weaknesses, plan instruction based on results, plan for curriculum development, and to report progress to you, the parents.

To help your child prepare for the TerraNova, please ensure that on November 5th and 6th he or she:
Gets plenty of sleep the night before.
Eats a healthy breakfast.
Comes to school on time.

Thank you for the ongoing support and commitment to your child’s education. We look forward to another successful year of TerraNova testing.

Sincerely,


Joy Labarber
Curriculum Coordinator
