FCAT Preparation Requirement

Dear Parents and Students,
In an effort to continue assisting students in becoming better prepared for the FCAT, the students will begin working with a variety of Benchmark Test today. The Benchmark Test package(s) are to be completed in class or at home as instructed by the teacher. The questions on these test packages will be graded by benchmarks. As a result, the student will earn several grades. Each package will have a specific due date that must be strictly adhered to. In addition, students will also receive a Student Benchmark Test Profile (a record sheet) to record their individual results per benchmark. The Profile sheet and the Benchmark Test package must always be kept in the student's math folder inside their binder. In order to complete the tests, the students must solve ALL the questions (show their work) NEATLY on the margins of the handout or on separate sheets of paper which they will later staple to the back of the package. Every question must have a solution or an explanation for credit to be given. Please note, if a student is missing the Benchmark Test package and/or the Student Profile sheet, he/she will receive a zero for the assignment of the day and must still complete the work for practice.
Please cut along the dotted line and return the bottom half of this letter signed and dated to Ms. Gomez next class for an “Extra credit A.
