State Testing at Taft Primary for our Third Grade Students takes place the week of May 6th - May 10, 2024
To the Parents of Taft Primary Third Graders:
TO BEGIN, WE WANT TO EXTEND OUR HEARTFELT APPRECIATION FOR YOUR SUPPORT. WE KNOW THAT SUCCESS IN SCHOOL IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN PARENTS, STUDENTS, AND TEACHERS, AND TAFT PRIMARY HAS THE BEST OF ALL THREE!
I want to make sure you know when State Testing is taking place for our third grade student at Taft Primary. This is a time for our student to shine and show all they have learned throughout the years. We know this is just a snapshot in time, but we want our students to be ready to do their best. On behalf of our third grade team, I am reaching out to parents for their support during this important time. The following are some things you can do to help us out.
MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD GETS PLENTY OF SLEEP AND IS WELL RESTED TO TAKE THE EXAM. IT IS NO EASY FEAT TO FOCUS FOR THE TIME THEY ARE REQUIRED, AND TO DO THEIR BEST THE ENTIRE TIME. A RESTED AND REFRESHED CHILD IS MORE LIKELY TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL.
MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A HEARTY BREAKFAST, WHETHER THAT IS SOMETHING YOU DO AT HOME BEFORE THEY COME TO SCHOOL, OR ARRIVE IN A TIMELY MANNER AS TO HAVE ACCESS TO A NUTRITIOUS SCHOOL BREAKFAST. WE WANT THAT BRAIN FUELED AND READY TO GO!
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOUR STUDENT ARRIVES TO SCHOOL ON TIME. IF HE / SHE ARRIVES AFTER 8:15, THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED INTO THE CLASSROOM UNTIL TESTING IS COMPLETED. THIS IS BECAUSE THE TEACHER HAS STRICT STATE GUIDELINES TO FOLLOW ONCE TESTING BEGINS. SO PLEASE HAVE THEM AT SCHOOL NO LATER THAN 8:00 READY TO GO.
AS A PARENT MYSELF, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE TIMES A CHILD HAS TO MISS SCHOOL. I AM ASKING YOU, AS THE PARENT, TO AVOID ANY APPOINTMENTS DURING THE TESTING WEEK IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. IF HE/SHE HAS MINOR COMPLAINTS, AND IS NOT RUNNING A FEVER, PLEASE BRING THEM TO SCHOOL. IF THEY ARE SICK, WE CAN CONTACT THE NURSE AND SEND HIM/HER HOME IF NECESSARY. AS ALWAYS WE TRUST YOUR JUDGEMENT IN THIS MATTER.
WE PLAN ON CELEBRATING OUR STUDENTS FOR BEING HERE ON TIME, EVERY DAY THAT WEEK, AND WE WILL BE CELEBRATING THE CLASS OR CLASSES WHO HAD PERFECT ATTENDANCE DURING TESTING WEEK… NEWS TO COME!
AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL YEAR(S) WE HAVE HAD WITH THESE THIRD GRADE STUDENTS AND THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE ALWAYS SHOWN US.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Callaghan, Mrs. Brown, Mr. Corral, Mrs. Cooper and Ms. Dennis
On February 1, 2024, Taft Primary School will begin our Summative ELPAC testing for our English Language Learners (only). This is a very important test required by the State of California to determine English Language Development. One of our goals is to make sure each English Language Learner grows at least one band in their English development each year. We also have many students who are at an E3 level that we want to see Re Designated Fluent English Proficient (RFEP)!
As parents you can help your child be successful by making sure they are at school each day rested and ready to learn. We appreciate your support in helping your child grow!
First, I would like to thank our parents for being so aware and cautious when dropping off their students. We have had a couple of concerns regarding drop-offs. First, as you come around the corner to the front of the school pull as far up as you can to the "Do Not Park" sign. This allows at least three vehicles to pull up behind you. Additionally, never double park or block the cross walk, as both are not only illegal but dangerous. Please use the crosswalk when crossing the street with your child in the morning. Your caution and patience are greatly valued! Remember, unless your child plans on having breakfast in the cafeteria, they do not need to arrive prior to 7:50am.
