PARCC Testing
CPS Parent Letter
This spring 3rd-8th grade students will be taking the PARCC test. 3rd -5th grade students will begin testing the week of March 28th. 6th-8th grade students will begin the week of April 4th. Homeroom teachers will provide a more information about each homeroom's individual testing schedule. Although this year PARCC is not the official CPS test (currently NWEA MAP) that will determine grade level promotion and selective enrollment scoring  it may be as soon as next year. We hope that all Coonley students take advantage of this opportunity to experience this test so that they are comfortable with the format.
