It is important to take this year’s assessments seriously as they do count!

Wishing all our students the best of luck as they begin their state assessment on Monday.  It is important that students try their best when taking these state assessments. They do count and they are important in helping us know what our students have learned and how we can continue to meet their needs.

As I read social media this weekend, I am concerned that there is some misunderstanding regarding the recent Executive Order No. 2 by FL-DOE Commissioner Richard Corcoran. Please know I am so pleased and grateful for the executive order.

E0-02 gives school districts some additional options for this year’s graduating seniors who have not passed the state assessments required for graduation. E0-02 gives some very limited options that can be considered on a case-by-case basis for seniors. Seniors must still meet state graduation requirements. All other students’ state assessments are being given as in any typical school year.

Please encourage your students to do their best as they take these assessments. As one educator shared with their students before their assessments, “Show what you know and relax. It’s a celebration of knowledge.”
