TELPAS Officially Begins
Just a few reminders...
- Please be aware that the official TELPAS tests begin Tuesday, March 6th. We will be conducting 4 testing sessions each day in the Computer Lab and the Library. If possible, do not use the Computer Lab hallway this week to ensure that we are as quiet and secure as well can be. Thank you in advance!
- Remember - Only staff that have been to TELPAS security training are allowed in the Computer Lab/Library during testing sessions.
- Check your time(s) and location(s) on the calendar below.
- The 4th and 5th Writing Samples are due Thursday, March 8th - Personal Narrative and Social Studies.
- Spanish teachers in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade - The window for the Assessment of Spanish Learners' progress is from Monday, Feb 26 to March 30. Some of us did the Part II but didn't complete the Part I of the training on the Assessment Tool. If that is your case, you can still rate Listening and Speaking, but cannot rate Reading and Writing (until you complete the Part I of the training).
