CSAP 2010

The Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) tests will be administered from Monday, March 8th through Monday, March 15th for 8th graders (Monday March 8th through Friday, March 12th for 6th/7th graders) at Goddard. All three grades are tested in Reading, Writing, and Math. Eighth grade is also tested in Science. Please take note of the following information:

· CSAP scores become part of a student’s permanent record and at Goddard, scores are considered in placement decisions for ability-grouped classes.


· It is extremely important that all our students are in attendance each day during the testing week. Please make every effort to arrange your family schedule to minimize absences during testing.


· Make-up tests will be administered March 15th-19th.


· Our testing schedule has been designed to include electives and limited core time each day. All grade levels will have regular electives each day.


· On all testing days, school begins and ends at the usual times and busses will run as usual.


· Test schedules are available in Student Services and on the GMS website: http://goddard.littletonpublicschools.com for parents. This will help with any emergency plans that may arise.



· Student must use a #2 wooden pencil for the test. Mechanical pencils cannot be used on the test.



· We also ask that you make sure your student gets plenty of rest and a hardy breakfast each day to help them maintain optimum energy throughout the week.



THIS IS EACH STUDENT’S OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE HIS OR HER PERSONAL BEST!!!
