COMMON CORE & CRCT

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your continued support for your child’s education in the Cobb County School District.  We wanted to update you with some additional information concerning the CRCT that will be administered this year in April.  Due to implementation of the Common Core Curriculum in Reading, Language Arts, and Math, new test items are being added to the CRCT to align with this implementation.   Because the test will be changed from previous years, the new CRCT will undergo a standardization process that could change the minimum score required for proficiency.  Currently students meet expectations on the CRCT with a minimum score of 800.  This number could change up or down due to this standardization process.  In addition, due to the increased rigor of this test, the state predicts that student scores will decline on this first administration of the test. 

As your child’s teacher(s) continue to implement the Common Core Curriculum in Reading, Language Arts, and Math, you should be noticing increased rigor in your child’s instruction and materials.  Future assessments are being developed to include Performance Tasks requiring writing products as well as an online assessment.   It is an exciting time in education with increased accountability as well as opportunities for students to learn in new and challenging ways. 

We are excited about the instruction we are able to provide in Cobb County Schools.   Your ongoing support for your child is imperative as we continue to meet the challenges of a new and rigorous curriculum.

Congratulations to all of our Spelling Bee participants
and especially to our 2013 winner,
Krishna M and runner-up, Katelyn M!

Wow!  Check out our new landscaping!
