The grade 3 and 6 students will be involved in the EQAO testing again this year during the last week of May and into the first week of June. Each year this standardized test provides us with an opportunity to gather data on student learning which contributes to our planning when we create the School Innovation and Improvement Learning Cycle for Student Achievement and Well-being.
This is not a test which the children can study for—we prepare them through the regular, excellent teaching that goes on in all the classrooms each day and the practice work that is sent home with your children. We do ask that the parents of the children in Grade 3 and 6 do not book any appointments from May 23rd to June 1st. It is always important that your children get plenty of rest and eat nutritionally, but you are especially encouraged to ensure that this happens during this week so that the children will be able to give their best performance.
