The FCAT writing assessment in grade 4 will be Feb. 12, 2002. The third grade will take the Terra Nova Basic test in reading and math Sept. 12-14, 2001. The assessments will be used to identify students not on grade level in reading, writing and mathematics. Students exhibiting substantial deficiency in reading before the end of grades one, two, and three will be given intensive reading instruction. If the reading deficiency is not remediated by the end of grade three, the student may be retained.
Promotion is based on the achievement of the established benchmarks for each grade level.
Every effort will be made at each grade level to ensure that all students develop the academic competencies and work habits required to provide the foundation for future school success.
