Dear Lurgio Families,
It is once again time to begin our State Assessment testing in Mathematics and English Language Arts. Lurgio’s testing window is Tuesday, May 7 through Thursday, May 9, with makeup tests being administered during the week of May 14. Additionally, our eighth grade students will complete the State Assessment in Science on Wednesday, May 15.
During the school-wide testing dates of May 7, 8, and 9, all students will be taking the tests during the first two hours of the school day, 9:00AM-11:00AM. As always, it is important that students arrive on time for the school day, and we are asking for particular care and consideration in that regard during our testing window. Also, because there are audio-visual components to the tests, we will be providing all students with a pair of basic earbuds for their use. Of course, if your child wishes to use personal earbuds or headphones, that is also acceptable, but please understand that bluetooth devices will not work for these assessments. Finally, because the tests are computer-based, we are asking that our students be extra vigilant in charging their Chromebooks each night. Thank you for helping with this.
For more information about the State Assessment tests, please visit our school district website and look under curriculum --> district performance. You will find links to Frequently Asked Questions and Sample Questions as well as links to the New Hampshire Department of Education and State Assessment website.
Please call or email me if you have questions about state testing. Thank you for continuing to work with us to ensure your child is successful.
Sincerely,
Ed Joyce, Principal
