Hi everyone,
The FSA test for grade fours is looming again. This is a very controversial test, required by the government of all grade four and seven students. You've had a letter home from the school district outlining the scope of the test and your options as a parents. I encourage you to also read the information the BCTF has prepared and posted on its web site <http://www.bctf.ca/>.
As I mentioned to my class this morning, you do have the option to have your child exempted from this test. Such exemption will not effect his or his marks, education, or progress in school in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. If you do wish to have your child exempted from the test, please call the office and speak to Mr. Leonard.
I will try to give you a day or two's notice of when we are writing the sections of this test, by posting such information here on our blog. The FSA test is written in six parts: three written, one math, and two on the computer. And just for your information, the students have not and will not be prepared for this test in any way.
We will be writing the first section of the FSA on Wednesday this week, just FYI.
