CRCT Testing week is here! Thanks to our Pep Rally on Friday, we are READY!
Students and faculty gathered in the gym Friday afternoon to get ourselves pumped and excited about next week! LHS band members were on hand to pump up the crowd! Our MC of the event was Mrs. Scott. She kept things moving! Gilbert's Gator girls (Singletary, Massey, Wallin, Hodge, and Neal) led students in cheers. The drama team (Wright, Burnette, Rogers, Quinn, Brooks, Richardson, and Epperson) performed skits of testing dos and don'ts. Third through fifth graders wrote their testing pledges on paper links. We combined those into chains, which are on display in the halls. Thank you, Mr. Harris for getting students excited about "showing" what they know! We know our students are ready to do their BEST!

What is the CRCT?
Why do we have to take it?
Some of
you may be wondering the purpose of this test. The
CRCT is designed to measure how well students acquire the skills and knowledge
described in the Georgia Performance Standards. The assessments yield information
on academic achievement at the student, class, school, system, and state
levels. This information is used to diagnose individual student strengths and
weaknesses as related to the instruction of the CCGPS, and to gauge the
quality of education throughout Georgia.
Testing begins on Monday! The schedule for the week is as follows:
- Monday - Reading
- Tuesday - English/ Language Arts
- Wednesday - Mathematics
- Thursday - Science
- Friday - Social Studies
Here's a few tips to remember:
- Be sure to go to bed at a decent time. Don't stay up late! You need at least 8-10 hours of rest each night. Well rested students do better on tests!
- Eat a good breakfast! Remember breakfast is served each day at school between 7 - 7:30. You'll do better with concentration if you're not worried about being hungry.
- Dress comfortably! Wear loose fitting clothing.
- Be on time to school each day! Testing begins promptly at 8 a.m. Late students will be held until the first session is complete.
- Do your best! Don't stress. We believe in you! You will do well!
