AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE FINISH LINE, WE STILL HAVE A COUPLE OF BENCHMARKS TO MEET.  ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BENCHMARK IS THE STANFORD ACHIEVEMENT TEST.

IN ORDER FOR CCS TO CONTINUE ITS QUEST FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, STANDARDIZED TESTING IS USED AS A TOOL TO ENABLE US TO TWEEK OUR CURRICULUM FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR.  THE SAT WILL ALLOW TEACHERS TO SEE IF INDEED WE ARE ACCOMPLISHING OUR EDUCATIONAL GOALS.

PARENTS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MAKING SURE THEIR CHILDREN ARE MAXIMIZING THEIR TESTING EXPERIENCE.  (1) MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD GETS PLENTY OF REST EVERY NIGHT DURING TEST WEEK.  (2) ENSURE THAT YOUR CHILD EATS A GOOD BREAKFAST EVERY MORNING.  CCS WILL PROVIDE BREAKFAST FOR EVERYONE MONDAY THRU THRUSDAY FROM 7:30-8:00. (3) MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS ON TIME!  A STUDENT RUNNING LATE CAUSES UNDO ANXIETY! (4) DON’T MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT THE TEST.  BE POSITIVE AND ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO DO HIS/HER BEST EACH TESTING DAY.  (5) IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, CELEBRATE!  THE ALL NATIONS FESTIVAL WILL BE A CULMINATION OF ALL OF OUR HARD WORK THIS YEAR!  MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SIGNED UP TO PARTICIAPATE FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2012.  IT PROMISES TO BE A ROUSING GOOD TIME!

“Believing Christ died, that’s history.  Believing Christ died for you, that’s salvation.”
