Dear Parent/Guardian,
Students in grades 3 through 8 will be taking state tests in English/Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics
sometime between April 4 and May 4. Additionally, any high school student currently enrolled in English I
or Algebra I will also be tested. Please consult with your school for a more specific test schedule. These
assessments are designed to evaluate students’ progress toward the more rigorous state standards.
There is nothing to prepare for outside of school. Please just encourage your child to give his or her best
effort and, as always, preparing your child for a good day at school begins with a good night of sleep and
a nutritional breakfast.
These state tests are one of several ways student achievement is measured in CUSD 303. Your child’s
daily school work, teacher comments, and report cards are also important when determining overall
school achievement. If you have any questions regarding your child’s performance, be sure to talk with
your child’s teacher or principal.
PARCC results will be reported in the fall on the State School Report Cards. You will also receive
information about your child’s individual performance.
Sincerely,
David Chiszar
Executive Director of Assessment and Accountability
“Empowering and Inspiring ALL”

Estimado Padre o Guardián,
Los estudiantes en los grados 3 hasta 8 tomarán los exámenes estatales de Artes de Inglés y Lenguaje
(ELA por sus siglas en inglés) y matemáticas entre el 4 de Abril y 4 de Mayo. Además, cualquier
estudiante de high school que esté inscrito actualmente en Inglés I o Algebra I también tomará el
examen. Por favor consulte con su escuela para un horario de pruebas más específico. Estas
evaluaciones están diseñadas para evaluar el progreso de los estudiantes hacia estándares estatales
más rigurosos.
No hay nada para prepararse fuera de la escuela. Por favor anime a su hijo a que ponga su mejor
esfuerzo y, como siempre, preparar a su hijo para un buen día en la escuela comienza con dormir bien y
un desayuno nutritivo.
Estos exámenes estatales son una de las muchas maneras como se mide el aprovechamiento en
CUSD303. El trabajo diario de la escuela de su hijo, los comentarios del maestro, y las boletas de
calificaciones también son importantes cuando se determina el aprovechamiento general de la escuela.
Si tiene alguna pregunta acerca del rendimiento de su hijo, asegúrese de hablar con el maestro de su
hijo o el director.
Los resultados de PARCC se reportarán en el otoño en los Reportes de Calificaciones de Escuela del
Estado. Usted también recibirá información acerca del rendimiento individual de su hijo.
Sinceramente,
David Chiszar
Director Ejecutivo de Evaluación y Responsabilidad
