Dear Parent/Guardian,

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Florida State Assessment (FSA) tests are scheduled to begin with FSA Writing (grades 4-8) next week then Reading, Mathematics, and Science (grades 1-7) after Spring Break. We have attached a schedule for your consideration. These assessments help us gather data for your child’s promotion and school performance.

It is important you join our team in making this a comfortable experience: encouragement, good night sleep, healthy breakfast, and timely arrivals has shown to have a positive impact on performance. See attached schedule.

BridgePrep has elected to also use SAT10 on March 21st and 22nd to compare performance evaluation and assist with course placement for the upcoming school year. SAT’s will provide us multiple sources of data. Additionally, any student who is “identified” as requiring testing accommodations with a 504 or IEP will be provided those adaptations as needed and allowable. In June, your child will receive an Individual Student Report that provides information about how he or she is progressing academically. This can be picked up in our offices over the summer months.

Please review the following policies with your child before testing:
■ Electronic Devices—if your student is found with ANY electronic devices, including, but not limited to, cell phones and smart phones, at any time during testing OR during breaks, his or her test section will be invalidated, which means it will not be scored. It’s best to leave devices at home or in locker.
■ Leaving Campus—if your student leaves campus before completing a test section (for an appointment, illness, etc.), he or she WILL NOT be allowed to complete that test section. Arriving on time and leaving during dismissal will be key.

Thank you for supporting us in showcasing your child’s academic achievements.

Sincerely,

Christine Harris, Principal
