Dear Parent/Guardian:

The End-of-Grade summative assessments (EOGs) are designed to measure student performance on the goals, objectives, and grade-level competencies specified in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. The EOGs for Mathematics (3rd-5th), English/Language Arts (3rd-5th), and Science (5^th) will be administered at Southwest Elementary from Friday, May 26th through Wednesday, June 7th. See the table below for specific EOG dates and subjects.

We will begin testing at 8:00 AM each morning. It is important that students arrive on time to ensure they are prepared for testing. Once testing begins, students who arrive late will not be able to participate with their peers and will be assigned a make-up day for testing. 

To prepare each day for testing, please ensure that your child:

• gets the appropriate amount of sleep the night before the assessment.

• has a healthy breakfast.

• arrives at school between 7:15 and 7:45 AM the day of the assessment.

You will be able to access your child’s Individual Student Report at the end of the testing window in the Parent Portal of PowerSchool.  If you have questions about EOG testing, please contact me at 919-560-3972.
