Dear Parents, As you have heard, TCAP tests are now online and are called CMAS (science & social studies) and PARCC (English language arts & math). Students in grades 3-12 will be participating in these state assessments. When creating the schedules for testing, we considered many factors, including the time required for testing, the classes missed while testing, and previous testing schedules that have been successful. Science & social studies: April 13-23 English language arts & math: April 20-May 7 Please see more detailed schedule information at frontieracademy.net/testing On these test days, we ask that students arrive to school on time. Help your children feel their best by making sure they go to bed early, eat a good breakfast and bring healthy lunches and snacks. Please do not schedule appointments for your child during these test days or times. These test results are important to your student and Frontier Academy. The scores help us determine how much progress we have made and they affect our standing with the state of Colorado and District 6. The Colorado Department of Education states that students may not have cell phones in the testing room. Students need to leave cell phones at home, in lockers, or at the front office. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Budzynski at 970-339-9153 or Mrs. Willis at 970330-1780. With your help, spring testing will be great! Thank you for your support.
