Our middle school will participate in standardized testing next week, Monday-Thursday. The students will be taking the Educational Records Bureau’s CTP 5 tests. For more information about the tests, please see this website: ERB CTP 5 Information
We will test for two periods of each school day at different times of the day, so please avoid scheduling appointments at those times whenever possible. Students who are absent during those days will have time to make up for their missed exams the following week if they miss 2 or fewer portions of the exam. If parents would like students to make up the test if they miss 3 or more (more than one testing day) test portions, please email Mrs. Semsch by Friday, April 11.
Our testing times are as follows:
- Monday, April 7th — Purple and Pink
- Tuesday, April 8th — Light Blue and Dark Blue
- Wednesday, April 9th — Red and Orange
- Thursday, April 10th — Yellow and Green
Please help your child to get a full night’s rest and a good breakfast, and bring #2 pencils and a book to read for pleasure (should they finish a test section early- devices will not be permitted) to prepare themselves for each testing day. Students will not need to study or complete any advanced preparation to be ready for standardized tests, however practice tests are available on the website listed above, if your child would feel most comfortable testing after seeing similar questions.
