PARCC Letter
March 3, 2015
Dear 5th Grade Parents,
Thank you for all you do to support your children in their academic development. Woodridge District 68 students in Grades 3rd - 8th will take the “PARCC” (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) to measure your child’s progress in math and English/language arts. In class, we have worked with your child on ELA and Math practice tests, but feel free to encourage your child to visit http://parcc.pearson.com/practice-tests/ for additional test preparation.
The most important thing that you can do for your child during testing time is make sure that he/she comes to school on testing days. Making up a missed test means time out of classroom and missing valuable learning time that cannot be made up. In addition to attendance, your child will do his/her best on the tests if they:
· take the tests seriously and give his or her best effort,
· get to bed early the night before to be well-rested on the day of the test,
· have a healthy breakfast at home or in the cafeteria,
· come to school on time.
The actual testing dates and times for 5th grade are as follows:
Tuesday, March 10th
8:50-10:05
ELA
Wednesday, March 11th
8:50-10:05

If you are interested in writing an encouraging message to your child in a note or card, please send it in a sealed envelope or send it as an email to your child’s teacher. Letters or cards will be delivered to your child the first morning of testing.
Thank you for supporting your child and our school during this test. Please contact us if you have any questions.
