Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) Around the State and Across Twin Peaks

TCAP for grades 3-10 will be March 11-March 29.  

As we at Twin Peaks prepare for this round of testing, parents can do the same.  There are many ways to support your student(s) for the events of test days: provide a HEALTHY breakfast on testing days, ensure your students have a full night's sleep, and remind them of the importance of the test.  Also, please take note of the TCAP testing schedule when planning vacations, doctor's appointments, or other elective absences of any kind. Please plan around test days as all students in Grades 3-10 will be tested in the areas of Reading, Writing, and Math. Science is tested in 5th, 8th, and 10th grades. 

Make up days will be provided within this time period but, these are not optimal testing conditions for students to perform at their best. 

With your support, our students will demonstrate their true potential.
