Dear Parent/Guardian:
Our Georgia Milestones Assessment System testing window opens soon and we are making final preparations for a successful testing season. Our testing window begins April 15th and closes on April 22nd. As we finalize our plans for this spring, we wanted to share some information with you.
The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) has posted information for parents. Please go to this link https://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Assessment/Pages/Georgia-Milestones-Assessment-System.aspx. This document will provide answers to questions you may have about Georgia Milestones.
We are writing to share with you that Folkston Elementary School will again be testing students online during our upcoming spring administration of the Georgia Milestones assessment. The information below is provided to assist you and your student in becoming familiar with the features of online testing.
- A website, called Experience Online Testing Georgia, has been established to provide an opportunity for students to become familiar with the online testing platform. The website can be found at the link that follows: http://www.gaexperienceonline.com/. This practice site does not require a log-in and is available 7 days a week. Importantly, this practice site is not designed as a “practice test” to measure a student’s knowledge of course content and scores will not be generated. Again, it is intended to allow students to familiarize themselves with the online platform prior to testing.
- We will also be setting up practice sessions during the school day to provide students a similar opportunity to acquaint themselves with the online testing system.
If you have questions about our upcoming spring test administrations for Georgia Milestones, please contact Mike Walker at mwalker@charlton.k12.ga.us. Thank you for your support!
