Dear Parents,
During the next couple of weeks, students will continue to experience strong academic learning through cumulative projects and assessments as the school year begins to wind down. Please continue to support your students to finish strong through the remaining weeks of school.
High School End-of-Course Assessments
If your student is currently taking Algebra I, Geometry or Biology, he or she will be taking a Florida End-of-Course (EOC) assessment in order to obtain credit for the course. Students who are scheduled to retake an EOC will do so at this time as well. The EOC testing schedule is as follows:
May 20-24: Geometry EOC
EOC assessments are computer-based tests (CBT), and your student will have/has had an opportunity to participate in a practice test to become familiar with the software, item types, and online tools he or she will encounter and use during testing.
