Salamanders wrap-up 2012/13 year!
Monday, May 14, 2012 at 10:15PM This week salamanders are digging into end-of-year testing as they wrap-up the 2011/12 academic year. All grade
levels will complete their appropriate grade-level ERB Assessment in Math and Language Arts, while the 8th graders will complete the North Carolina End-of-Course exams for Algebra 1 and Biology 1.
Salamanders in the 8th grade also completed the Asheville High School Spanish I and II placement exams earlier this month which will allow many of them to start in higher-level Spanish classes at the high school next year.
A reminder from Mr. Martin's Language Arts classroom
“We believe in testing here at FBRA,” says director Will Yeiser. “While we measure and value other forms of assessment, standardized tests are one of the few quantifiable outcomes we can use to measure student growth over the course of their time at FBRA.”
Next week, students will depart for their end-of-year trips to the wild and scenic Chattooga River, as well as the French Broad river. The academy will graduate its founding class of 2012 the following Thursday evening.
