Dear Parents/Guardians,
Beginning on Wednesday May 13 through Wednesday May 20, students in grades three through
five at our school will be taking our yearly spring K-PREP Test (Kentucky Performance Rating for
Educational Progress. As parents/guardians and partners in your child’s education, we are
asking you to help your child be able to do his/her best by doing the following:




Please make sure your child is in bed at night at the regular bedtime. A good night’s sleep
is the beginning of a good day!
Be sure your child eats breakfast either at home or at school (or both!).
Discuss each day’s test with your child. This helps the child to understand that testing is
important and gives our school and staff valuable information.
Make an extra effort to make sure your child is present every day and on time especially
during our testing days. Please try to schedule appointments in the afternoons or
reschedule for a later date. Make-up testing is difficult on the child and regular learning
time is lost.
This year your child will be signing a Testing Contract that states that they will follow the
Nancy Dragon Way to Be during testing. The teachers will be completing a Good Faith Effort
Checklist each day for every student. The students are expected to have perfect attendance, use
time wisely, answer every question, focus, check, and show work, use pre-writing tools, and
remain quiet when finished. By following these expectations, students will participate in the
special activities planned to reward students for their efforts on Good Faith Effort Day.
We will receive student results from this assessment in October and will send individual progress
reports home at that time. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and concern for your
child’s education!
