Posted October 1, 2008

my child is a kindergardner and was having a hard time adjusting to separating from me in the mornings. It was getting to the point I was dreading the mornings and I knew if I did so did my child. His teacher, ms hughes planned a very cleaver departure for the morning routine. She had a child stand outside with the assist principle each morning waiting for my son. When we get there they walk to class together and no tears! My son looks forward to seeing his friend, however he thinks he is helping him to class. Also Ms Hughes and Ms. Jones came to my son birthday party which helped them build more of a bond. Great teachers! They have been the best.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
