All fourth and seventh grade students are scheduled to take the writing proficiency on Tuesday, March 4th. Times and locations will be announced in the March issue of The Acorn and on the website. The remote sites - Tehachapi, Frazier Park, Kern Valley, and Taft - will all conduct the tests at their own sites. In the meantime, have your students write some practice essays covering narrative/descriptive, expository/informative, and persuasive using the five paragraph format. If you have questions regarding the writing test, contact your resource teacher. Watch for specifics on the test in next month's newsletter.
