Only 3 More Weeks

It is hard to believe, but we are only 3 more weeks away from the CRCT. This year, we have set a very lofty goal of more than 94! That means more than 94% of our students will meet or exceed on the CRCT. While this goal is a lofty one, we really do feel that it is one that we can achieve will lots of hard work, dedication and belief! Our students are working hard each day. Not only are they paying attention to their teachers Essential Questions and standards, they are working hard on really focusing on the skills needed to be successful. They are also working hard to be prepared for the format of the questions that they will see on the CRCT in April. Kennedy students have taken over 5700 practice tests on georgiaoas.org and have spent thousands of hours on Classworks and over 700 hours on brainchild.com. They are really working hard to be ready. With this type of goal and the pressure to pass this test, your child might be dealing with some stress caused by this test. I encourage you to check out our newsletter found on our website: www.barrow.k12.ga.us/kes . It has strategies for students as well as parents to prepare your child for the test.
