4th Grade Writing Test
CALIFORNIA FOURTH GRADE WRITING TEST: Our school will be participating in California�s Writing Standards Test for Fourth Grade tomorrow, March 3, 2009. Students in grade 4 may be asked to write a narrative, a response to literature, or a summary. Bergeson Elementary is participating with all other schools in the state in this program that is designed to provide students, parents, teachers, and the community with information about fourth-grade students� achievement in writing. Please make sure your child is on time to school tomorrow. The only make-up day that the state will allow is Wednesday, March 4. It is important that students do their best to increase the accuracy of the results. During testing day we are asking that there be no parent volunteers in the fourth grade classes. Every effort will be made to assure an optimum testing environment for our students. You are a vital partner in the testing process and can help by:
� Making sure your child has plenty of rest on the night before testing
� Ensuring that your child comes to school on time ready for testing
� Providing a good breakfast on testing day
� Helping your child see the test as an opportunity to show what she or he has learned and encouraging your child to do his or her best.
Thank you for your assistance in preparing your child for this testing experience!
