PASS Writing Test this Week

The Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) Writing tests will be given to students on March 19 & 20.  Day 1 (March 19) will be extended response and Day 2 (March 20) will be multiple choice. PASS tests are untimed for each day of testing. Help us help your child perform to the best of his or her ability.  

Parents can be a great help to their child by following these suggestions:

• Please see that your child gets rest on the nights before these tests. 


• Please see that your child eats a nourishing breakfast on the morning of these tests.


• Make every effort to have your child in school and on time, except in cases of illness. Please do not schedule any doctor's appointments during testing. 


• Do encourage your child to read each test question and each response carefully before marking an answer choice.


• Do encourage your child to stay calm if there are questions that seem difficult.


• Encourage your child to mark his/her best answer.


• Provide positive feedback by praising your child for what he/she does well.
