Assalamu Alaikum Dear Parents,
Please remember that Friday,
May 27 marks the beginning of our grade six EQAO testing period.
Testing will continue until Friday, June 3rd. On these six test days, please send your
child to school well-rested and having had a healthy
and plentiful breakfast. You do not need to supply your child with pencils,
erasers, protractors or calculators; we will provide these items. In six one-hour sessions, students will
complete a variety of assessment activities designed to allow them to
demonstrate their skills and knowledge relating to reading, writing, and
mathematics as described in The Ontario Curriculum. The assessment is administered
province-wide and is developed by Ontario teachers and assessment experts to
reflect curriculum expectations.
EQAO has developed a
“Parent’s Guide to EQAO Tests” and “Questions and Answers for Parents”
(available in 20 languages) to give you more information about the assessments
and an understanding of what to expect. To access these resources, go to the
EQAO Web site (www.eqao.com)
click “Parent Resources” and then select “Junior Division (Grades 4-6)“.
If you have any
questions, please don’t hesitate to e-mail either Tr. Salma or Tr. Rania.
JAK,
Tr. Rania
