Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we move into the fourth quarter of the school year, we want to inform you of some key information regarding the spring assessments that begin in several grades this week. Below you will find tentative testing dates for the grade levels and their respective assessments. Please be aware that these dates are provided within testing “windows”, and they can change based on various factors. State and district changes, unforeseen technology issues, and internal scheduling at Lutz Prep all can play a factor in altering testing dates and times. While we make every attempt to communicate with families, teachers, and our students in order to be best prepared, we appreciate your flexibility and patience during this time. In addition, please note that during testing windows, we will be a ‘closed campus’ and no volunteering is available on campus.
Below are some good tips to help your child during testing:
Get a good night’s sleep
Eat a healthy breakfast before coming to school
Arrive to school ON TIME! Tardiness will affect your child’s testing schedule
Avoid scheduling appointments during the school day; limiting tardies and early sign outs
Remember to notify attendance@LutzPrep.org immediately if your child is ill
Reminder: Absolutely NO electronics allowed during testing (cell phones, smart watch/wrist phones, etc.)
Help reinforce academic integrity and that this is a snapshot of your child’s progress
Encourage them to do their best and not stress
