EOG testing for 3th-5th grade students starts Friday morning. Our students have worked hard all year, and EOG tests are a way to show how much they have learned and grown over the course of the school year. They do NOT determine if they go to the next grade, nor do they tell us how smart someone is or is not. Our goal is to get our students to take EOGs seriously and to do their personal best without a whole lot of stress or pressure.
