EOGs This Week!
by Dov Rosenberg, Testing Coordinator
Added: 5/11/09 10:00 AM

This week, all of our students will take the North Carolina End-of-Grade (EOG) Tests in reading and math. On Tuesday, all students will take the Reading EOG and on Wednesday, all students will take a Math EOG using a calculator. On Thursday, eighth graders will take the Science EOG while 6th & 7th graders taje another Math EOG test without the use of a calculator. Please review our testing page for more information about testing.  Listed below are important points regarding the EOGs:

1. All students are REQUIRED to take this test. If you are a parent or guardian of a Rogers-Herr student, please do all you can to ensure that your child is present and on time (7:20am) to school this week.  This is a very important test and although our teachers have been working hard to ensure every student's success, there are a few things that you can do to help your child be successful, too!
• Talk with them about any anxieties they may be experiencing
• Don't schedule any doctor or dentist appointments for the morning of the test
• Make sure they do not miss school on any testing days
• Make sure they get a good night's sleep
• Provide them with a healthy breakfast
• Make sure that they arrive at school on time
• Smile and give encouragement!

2. The North Carolina ABCs Accountability Program will use EOG Test results to help determine if schools have made adequate academic progress during the current school year.

3. Each student will receive separate scale scores and achievement levels on each portion of the EOG. Each student's scale scores and Achievement Levels will become part of his or her permanent school record. Achievement Levels are indicators of how well students have mastered a specific subject's (eg. reading, math, or science) set of skills.  The achievement levels are defined as follows:
• Achievement Level I indicates no mastery of subject-specific skills
• Achievement Level II indicates inconsistent mastery of subject-specific skills
• Achievement Level III indicates satisfactory mastery of subject-specific skills
• Achievement Level IV indicates superior mastery of subject-specific skills

Students who attain Levels III or IV on an EOG are described by the State Board of Education as prepared to be successful at the next grade level.

4. Students who earn a II on any EOG must retake that EOG on May 27-29.
 
The week of EOG Testing is very important for our students. It is essential that each student arrive at school on time, rested, and motivated to do his or her best on the EOGs. Your support and efforts to make this a successful experience for our students are greatly appreciated! If you have questions about the information provided in this letter, please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions, comments, or concerns that you may have.
