TCAP Testing
The TCAP (Transitional Colorado Assessment Program) is based on the new Colorado Model Content Standards and has replaced CSAP. The TCAP will continue to assess the same content areas and grades as CSAP. Students will be taking the TCAP tests. The tests and schedule for each grade level at EMS are as follows: 6th Grade: Reading, Writing, Math: March 11 - 15 7th Grade: Reading, Writing, Math: March 11 - 15 8th Grade: Reading, Writing, Math, Science: March 11 - 15 Attendance is vital during this time. We wanted to let you know early so that appointments and vacations are not scheduled during these days. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

Attendance and being on time during this week are vital to the success of your student at our school. It is critical that all students attend school for the entire week during the TCAP testing period of March 11-15. Please, if at all possible, plan appointments after 3 pm during this week of TCAP. Also, please encourage your students to try their hardest and get enough rest in preparation for these assessments. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. We will be doing several raffle baskets during this week for students that have perfect attendance and are trying their best on these assessments. Our staff will be giving out special TCAP ROAR coupons and students may place their coupons in the corresponding containers in the main office for the baskets they would like to win.
