Parent Volunteers Needed During EOGs

Parents:

If you are available during EOGs, we could use your help.  East will need volunteer Proctors (assist teachers that are administering the tests).

The EOGs will take place on May 19th, 20th, and 21st (Tue/Wed/Thu) from approximately 815am to 1115 am.  

Please contact me by email (maria_stine@scs.k12.nc.us) or at school 704-982-5113 if you are interested.

Parents will not be assigned to rooms where their children, or close relatives will be testing.

We hope you can help!

E...O....G.....

What do you think these letters should stand for?   End Of Grade?   Everyone Over Graded?  

While tests can't measure all kinds of "smarts", here's a few facts:

We will take tests all our life.   

Sometimes we will know about them, and we can prepare.

Sometimes they sneak up on us when we least expect it.


No matter what kind of test it is, it will ALWAYS show something about your abilities.  

What are YOUR abilities?

Math?  
Science?  
Caring for Others?  
Being Kind?  
Reading?

Yes, you need CHARACTER to make all the other learning "stick"!   Students who are good at treating others with respect will find that it "rubs off" on their learning, too.

Try It!!

I would love to read your comments about this post... 
AND... 
what you think "EOG" should REALLY stand for!
Sincerely,  Mrs. Stine
