Important Information Regarding Testing:
 
Students will be taking the Georgia Milestones Statewide Assessment.  pril 30th-May 8th.  This assessment covers the content students have learned this year and provides valuable information regarding student progress.  It is important that students get plenty of sleep, arrive on time, and eat breakfast. If a student arrives after the testing period begins (8:15 am), they will not be permitted into the testing environment. They will have to make it up in the afternoon. If a student is absent, they will make up the missed test section on another day.   The testing sections have been spread across several days to limit the time students test each day. We want to encourage and reassure students that  this year's work has prepared them to “finish the race strong.”
