As expected, students will take the FSA tests toward the end of the year, but the FSA Writing portion will be sometime during the week of 2/27/16. THE ACTUAL DATE WILL BE DETERMINED LATER. At that time, we will let you know the actual day, and my website will be updated. The dates for FSA ELA, Math, and Science will be posted later, however, we do know the FSA for ELA and Math will be in April. 

On the FSA website, there are many practice tests. I highly recommend visiting the website to explore their practice tests and to read about the FSA. If you are interested, there is an explanation about the new 'color coded' score report. This site offers writing response & planning templates, and 'student presentations' PowerPoints to let students know what the assessments will look like when they take the tests. Here is the link: http://fsassessments.org Students will view the 'student presentations' (under the Resources tab) in class with me before they take the FSA.
