Third Grade Parents,

TCAP scores are scheduled to be released to schools on the evening of Friday, May 19th. If your student falls into the “below” or “approaching” range and is at risk of retention, BES will notify you of the next steps on Monday, May 22nd. If you do not receive communication from BES on Monday, your student is not in danger of retention because he or she scored “meets expectations” or “exceeds expectations” on TCAP.
Students who score below or approaching will be eligible for an online retake opportunity. There will be 2 time slots available for eligible students to retake the test at BES:
Tuesday, May 23rd from 10:30-12:00 or Tuesday, May 23rd from 1:30-3:00.
