CATS Testing to Begin

The CATS assessment will be administered to students in the 3rd-8th grade beginning Monday, May 4th and ending on Friday, May 15th. We will not be testing everyday during these two weeks, however please ensure that your child will be here everyday. Attendance is very imiportant during this period of time. If you MUST schedule appointsments, please try to make them for the afternoons. Testing will begin promptly at 8:15 each morning.



Tips to Help Your Child Do Their Best:


  • Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep

  • Encourage your child to eat a healthy breakfast before learning for school or have your child eat at school.

  • Talk to your child about the test each night and encourage them to do their best.

If you have access to the Internet, you may want to checkout the Kentucky Department of Eduation home page at http://www.kde.state.ky.us/ This site has sample questions from previous years that you might want to view. (None of the items are on this year's tests.)
