NBES: Wed. & Thurs. (March 24th-25th), we will be administering the GADOE Beacon test to our 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade students. The BEACON provides the feedback needed for grades 3rd-5th students to master grade-level academic requirements/standards, and to help teachers plan instruction and administrators make well-informed decisions. DRC BEACON’s content represents Georgia’s college- and career-ready expectations. The information gained from this assessment will help us identify areas (standards) that we need to focus on prior to giving the GMAS in May. We are excited that the GADOE has offered this opportunity. BEACON does not count as a grade. For more information: https://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Assessment/Documents/BEACON/GA_BCN_Flyer_FINAL.pdf Please have your child arrive at school on time, make sure he or she gets adequate sleep, and encourage your child to eat breakfast. Thank you! Mrs. Nunn (If you have a virtual student, we will send out information separately later this week in regards to testing your child.)
