At J.W. Turlington School
Forthcoming, also, will be the
administration of the California
Achievement Tests (CAT) to all
sixth graders March 14-16.
Teachers are busily preparing
students for this testing which is
given to all children in grades 1, 2,
3, 6, and 9 throughout the state.
Although these test scores will
not influence a student's six week
grades, each student is, however,
encouraged to do his/her best
because scores are compared to the
national percentile. Our sixth
grade over all test scores have in
creased from 5.8 in 1979 to 6.7 in
1982.
"It's important," stated Mims,
"for students to not only be
academically prepared for testing,
but also emotionally and physical
ly prepared as well."
Scores will further be used to
determine junior high school
placement.
How good are you in math?
Well, a select group of sixth
graders will soon have an oppor
tunity to use their expertise in
mathematics when they participate
in the St. Jude's Vlath-A-Thon.
