FCAT 2012!

As FCAT testing begins I want to thank the educators of Citrus County for their hard work with our students.  As a direct result of their influence and strategies students are less anxious or worried about the FCAT tests, rather they feeling more confident and optimistic.  That is a credit to the labor and preparation these teachers have each done with them.

For the last number of weeks and months my own children have brought home practice work done in class or for them to do at home.  With the urging of their teachers they have used our home computers to access online FCAT resources such as Study Island and FCAT Explore.  They have been taught test taking strategies and in many cases teachers and/or administrators  have met with them privately to make them aware of the expectations we have for them individually and to let them know that they are capable of success.  In 3rd grade families were given FCAT packages with helpful tips, suggestions and even letter paper and envelopes with instructions for give each family member to provide their student an inspirational encouraging note before taking the FCAT.  In addition to that my own children’s mother is a Citrus County educator who further requires enrichment learning at home. (my poor kids 😉 )

All of these efforts are not unique rather they are the norm.  I am encouraged for our students’ results and our students are blessed to have these dedicated educators in their lives.

I thank the educators of Citrus County for what you do each day for the students of Citrus County!
