Dear Parents and Guardians,
STAR Testing is around the corner and will take place starting May 7 through May 15, 2012. Please make sure that your 2nd-4th grader is at school on time every single day during this period. The full set of tests is administered over several days, with a limited amount of testing each day. Your child should attend school on all test days so that he or she can be tested with the class. Make-up days will be provided if necessary. To ensure that test results are accurate, it is important that students are encouraged to do their best.
You are a vital partner is the testing process, and can help in the following ways:

•
Make sure your child has plenty of rest on the nights before testing
•
Provide a good breakfast on testing days prior to coming to school
•
Make sure that your child is on time for the start of school each day of testing
•
Avoid scheduling medical or other appointments during school time
•
Help your child see the test as an opportunity to show what he or she has learned
The public lottery for next year’s enrollment will take place on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 @ 4pm at ACS1. All families who are randomly selected will receive an official enrollment packet for the 2012-2013 school year.
Please remember that regular school attendance is the law. The state funds a school receives is based on the average daily attendance of students. When students are absent they miss valuable learning, get behind in their studies, and the school loses money. Schedule doctors and dentists appointments on non-school days to cut down on unnecessary absences and contribute to Ararat’s overall fiscal health.
Thank you for helping make Ararat Charter a school we can all be proud of!
Sincerely,
Aida Tatiossian
Principal
