Goldsmith Dolphins

Dear Families:

Jefferson County Public School students are participating in the Kentucky Department of Education’s required field tests and Quality of School Climate and Safety survey from February 24^th through March 6^th to .

The primary purpose of the field test is to examine the quality of the test questions for new academic standards.  At the same time, schools will see how the technology works and the students will experience the new testing platform. This field test will not be part of accountability and no student or school results will be shared.

Students will also complete the Quality of School Climate and Safety Survey right before completing the field test.  The results of this survey will count as four percent of our school’s accountability score for the 2019-2020 school year.  Each student will answer the survey and only complete one field test in either reading, mathematics or writing.  The entire process should take no more than 60 to 90 minutes depending upon the field test assigned to the student.

Schools have the opportunity to help students become familiar with the testing platform through an online tutorial and short practice tests.   Accommodations will be provided to those students with Individual Education Plans, 504 Plans or Program Services Plans.

If you have questions about the field test or the Quality of School Climate and Safety survey, please contact me at school.

It is that time of year again as the Mighty Dolphins of Goldsmith Elementary kick off the 2019-20 basketball season. Our first basketball game is TONIGHT at 7pm at Seneca High School. We will be facing our friends from Slaughter. Please come out and support us if you can. If you cannot make it tonight, our next game will be Wednesday 12/18 at 6:00pm…also at Seneca. That will take us into the Christmas break. Our players are excited and have worked hard to prepare.
