Placement Testing

For anyone still needing to RSVP or any help with scheduling, please contact Carolina McArthur mcarthur.carolina@gmail.com.  She is working closely with Mr. Moffett to coordinate the testing.

Again, please remember to be patient during this process.  We are doing the best we can to juggle hundreds of children with only 10 proctors.  It will be a slow process, but well worth it.

These tests really aren't "tests."  They are more geared to see where any gaps may be in our children's knowledge.  They are just to create a knowledge base and find the right curriculum strand to fill the gap.  

The children will only be testing on Language Arts and Math.  This is very specific testing, and usually goes quickly for the younger kids.  The older children will take slightly longer.  After being trained to do the proctoring I'm thrilled my children are being tested.  I have the full conficidence this curriculum (Direct Instruction) will benefit not only my children, but all children.  

Please also remember to thank the proctors who have donated and will donate MANY HOURS to this process.  It's a big job!
