WBRHS BULLS West Boca Raton High School “A” School “HOME OF THE BULLS” West Boca Raton High School 12811 Glades Road Boca Raton, Fl. 33498 Ph 5616722000 Parent/Student Connection 4/15/2016 Congratulations to our girl’s tennis team for winning the FHSSA tennis state championship! Parents, as we enter the testing season these are some things to keep in mind: During FSA, EOC, and Midterm/Final Exams students are not permitted to leave campus while the test is in progress. Once the testing period has begun students must stay in their class until the end of the period. Please plan appointments accordingly. Thank you for your cooperation. Students may not have cell phones, smart watches or any other electronic devices near them during testing. These items will be collected and kept in a safe place until testing is complete. All students need to have a photo ID with them at all times so the Testing Administrators can verify their identity. Please bring headphones / earbuds for testing. Please make sure students are well fed and rested on testing days. State of the art software programs examine all testing results and can statistically pinpoint students who may have shared answers. If this occurs, student tests may be invalidated. Encourage your child to relax, do his or her best, and rely on the testing tips and preparation which has been ongoing within our classrooms. FSA Testing All 9th and 10th grade students will take the Reading portion of the ELA FSA during the week of April 11th 14th. FSA (Florida State Assessment) Practice Tests Contentspecific practice tests are available for students at http://fsassessments.org/studentsandfamilies/practicetests/. These Practice Tests are intended to familiarize students with the types of items that will make up the tests and with the tools that will be available to them.
