🐉 FOSTER DRAGONS — SCIENCE COMMON ASSESSMENT REMINDER 🐉

We’re almost there, Dragons! Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 7, we will take our final Common Assessment for this round — SCIENCE! 🔬🧪

📚 TOMORROW: SCIENCE

💻 IMPORTANT CHROMEBOOK REMINDER:
Students took their Chromebooks home today. Please make sure your child’s Chromebook is fully charged tonight and brought to school tomorrow morning for testing.

⏰ PACE YOURSELF!
Remember, Common Assessments are about half the length of STAAR, so students should be able to complete the assessment in roughly half the time. 

Encourage your Dragon to:

✅ Read each question carefully
✅ Think through each answer
✅ Maintain a steady pace
✅ Use their time wisely
✅ Check their work when finished
✅ Give their very best effort!

🌙 Tonight: Get plenty of rest, eat a good breakfast, charge that Chromebook, and come ready to finish strong!

We are so proud of the effort our Dragons have shown throughout this assessment cycle. Let’s finish STRONG and show what you know! 💪🐉

ALL students should report to campus tomorrow for the Science Common Assessment.

STAAR assessments are designed to be completed within approximately 3–4 hours. Our Common Assessments are about half the length of STAAR, so students should be able to complete the assessment in roughly half the time (approx. 2 hours).
