End of Grade (EOG) Test Date Changes
 Recently passed legislation in the North Carolina General Assembly has had an impact on the state and federal testing guidelines for students this year. In previous years, we would conduct our end of the year testing around the third week of May. The new guidelines, however, require that all testing be completed during the last 10 days of school. Therefore, the CMS testing window this year is May 23-June 10. Due to these changes the following testing schedule has been created in order to complete all required testing at an appropriate time to allow for scoring and retesting:
3rd Grade: - Friday, May 23 - EOG Math Test
- Tuesday, May 27 - EOG Reading Test
- Friday, May 30 - Retest (if needed)
- Friday, June 6 - Read to Achieve Benchmark (if needed)
4th Grade: - Wednesday, May 28 - EOG Reading Test
- Thursday, May 29 - EOG Math Test
- Monday, June 2 - Social Studies Common Exam
- Tuesday, June 2 - Science Common Exam
5th Grade: - Friday, May 23 - EOG Science Test
- Wednesday, May 28 - EOG Reading Test
- Thursday, May 29 - EOG Math Test
Please contact Mr. Potter at s.potter@cms.k12.nc.us for any questions. |

Summer is just around the corner and it's time for SPARK Summer Reading and Math Program!
Students should have received their SPARK contracts and sponsorship forms in Wednesday folders last week and rising Kindergartners should have received theirs with their Beginner's Day materials. We want to have all those SPARK contracts turned in so we are offering several exciting contests!
