On Wednesday, March 25th, we invited our 4th grade parents to attend a CST Workshop. Our goal was to provide support and promote awareness for the upcoming CST. Our workshop focused on test taking strategies, specific ways parents can support their child at home and the correlation between MAPs/RIT scores and the CST.
In past years, our parent turnout for such workshops were not as impressive. We were amazed to see standing room only in our classrooms that were filled with parents, guardians and students. These parents displayed their interest throughout the workshop by participating, asking questions and dialoguing with other parents. As teachers, we feel proud that the significance of the CST is not only recognized by our students, but their parents as well.
With only a little more than 4 weeks to go, we feel confident that our 4th graders will perform well on the CST.
Your 4th Grade Team,
Mrs. Estrada, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. Arias, Ms. Reynolds & Ms.Rivas
