Provincial Achievement Tests -- Language Arts Written
Students in Grade 3, 6, and 9 will be writting their first round of Provincial Achievement Tests (PATS) on the week of May 14 - 16. This PAT will focus on students writing abilities. It is highly recommended that students get plenty of rest the night before the exam and have a healthy breakfast so they can do their best work.
Results from the PATS will be shared with the parents in fall, once they have been marked by Alberta Education.
