Tomorrow kicks off CAPT week. All classes will meet and it will be considered a Day 4, and for period E, an even day. Mandatory testing for sophomores only will begin Tuesday, March 2nd, and continue through Tuesday, March 9th. Lunch will only be served for test takers the first week, excluding Monday.
According to http:math-and-reading-help-for-kids.org, CAPT tests are administrated to all 10th graders in the state of Connecticut who are enrolled in public school. It is used to gather information necessary for the improvement of public education in Connecticut. The test is used to establish performance standards for all high school sophomores, emphasize the application of knowledge and skills, and to promote better instruction and curricula by getting feedback on strengths and weaknesses of students and districts.
Students must pass CAPTs in order to graduate, and are given chances in 11th and 12th grades if they fail.
