Letter from Dr. Copeland

April 28, 2014

Dear 1^st and 2^nd Grade Parents,

Next week, your child will be taking the Stanford Achievement Test, Tenth Edition (SAT 10).

The SAT 10 is a norm-referenced standardized test.  This means that your child’s scores provide a comparison of his or her performance to that of thousands of other children in the same grade who took SAT 10 at the same time of year.  The results help show what your child has learned and what your child has not yet mastered.  It is important to understand that no one “passes” or “fails” the SAT 10.

The SAT 10 includes many of the subjects that your child is taught in school.   It is a multiple choice test requiring the student to select and mark the best answer.  The teachers have been reviewing subject matter and sample questions to ensure that your child has knowledge of the test-taking skills needed to demonstrate their best understanding of the material that is tested.

You should also have received another letter today that provides information on all the testing that is taking place at Campus School over the next two weeks.  We are confident, that, with your support, our students will do their “personal best”.

Sincerely,

Susan Copeland

Director
