Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS) January 5, 2009
Posted by sullivanms in PASS.trackback
This year your child will take the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS). This assessment is designed to measure your child’s mastery of our state standards and takes the place of the PACT. This test is very important for both the students and the school. The data gleaned from the assessment allows us to target areas of need for your child and work to improve those areas. Your child’s score will have an impact on classes they are scheduled for the following year. This includes high school scheduling for our 8th graders as well. It is important that every student does their very best on the assessment.
We place an emphasis on targeted instruction at Sullivan. We identify areas of need and provide instruction in an attempt to accelerate learning. We feel this best prepares our students for success in school and on the PASS. The link below will take you to the state departments website which contains additional information and resources for the PASS test.
