Readministration Plan for EOGs at Year-Round Schools
Willow Springs Elementary is committed to providing all students with an excellent education. At the end of the school year, children in grades 3-5 will participate in the regular administration of North Carolina End-of-Grade (EOG) tests. Students who score Level 3 or higher on these assessments are considered proficient. Students who do not score a Level 3 or higher on the regular administration and have passed the course/ subject have the option to participate in a Remediation and Readministration opportunity on the last 2 days of school, which have been repurposed for only remediation and retesting this year. Therefore for all other students, and students in grades K-2, the last day of school will now be June 2 for track 1 and June 27 for tracks 2, 3 and 4.
Should your child meet the criteria for the Remediation and Readministration opportunity and you choose for your child to participate, during the remainder of the school year after testing, we will continue to provide your child with daily instruction focused on helping them reach proficiency on the EOG assessments. We have the opportunity to provide these remediation and readministration opportunities for our students who qualify on the last two days of the school year: June 3/6 for track 1 and June 28/29 for tracks 2,3,4. These last two days will be repurposed such that not all students will attend on these dates. Only the students who qualify and choose to participate will be attending. We will send letters to eligible students’ families next week to determine interest in this opportunity.
After students complete their EOGs we will determine which children are eligible and those families will receive an invitation for retesting. Please contact your child’s teacher with any questions.
