SS News Illinois Constution Test

This is a letter your 7th grader recieved from Mrs. Render.

Just in case you didn't get to see this letter. 

This year your seventh grade student will be taking the Illinois Constitution Test.  It is required that your student pass the test before entering high school.  With this in mind, I will give each student three opportunities to pass the exam.  The first attempt will count as a test grade for the second quarter.  If needed the other two attempts will be counted as a pass/fail.

Over the next few weeks, we will be discussing the history and government of Illinois.  During our study students will be completing study guides adn taking quizzes in class to help prepare them for the test.  Please remind your student to bring home materials and review in the information learned in class. 

The Illinois test is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, November 22, 2011.

If you have any questions, please do not hestitate to contact me. 

Thank you
