Night of the Stars

Southport’s second annual Student

Led Conferences were a huge suc-

cess! According to the post confer-

ence surveys completed by the par-

ents and students who attended, it

was a valuable experience for eve-

ryone. The conferences allowed

students the opportunity to exam-

ine their performance in school

using data from their test scores

and discuss their growth and goals

with their parents. A few of the

comments included “This was a

great opportunity to listen and see

what my child’s strengths and

weaknesses are”. “She did a great

job! Thank you”. “I am very thank-

Our mission is to inspire and EMPOWER compassionate, global learns who are committed to

creating a better and more peaceful world.

Our 3rd season of Heart & Sole at Southport starts February 21, 2017. This

international program, just for girls, is a transformational physical activity

based program for girls in 3rd-8th grade. It teaches life skills through dy-

namic interactive lessons and running games. The program culminates with

the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebra-

tory 5k running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence

through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of

health and fitness. Throughout the ten-week season, girls work and play

together to learn healthy personal and social habits while training for a 5K fun run. There is plenty of room on the

team! Please contact Mrs. Nicholas if your student is interested in joining this positive youth development program.

Southport Sports Stars Southport offers many opportunities for students to par-

ticipate in sports events, whether it be as a team member

or as a spectator. Boys and Girls basketball teams have

been scrimmaging several schools in our gym after school.

We encourage students to be good sports as they cheer on

our team. It is also important that students are picked up

on time if they plan to stay after school for the games. The

games are over by 6:30 PM.

are rewards for specific targeted behavior

expectations. Our annual PBS Carnival will be our next

Each week we feature a historical question written by Mrs. McFadden on our WSPM

tions and their answers on a sheet of paper and drop it into the entry box in the front

office. At the end of the week, Mrs. McFadden chooses one entry from the box with

the correct answer. At the end of the month, she will hold a social event for the top

30 students who participated in the contest.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that your student will take the computer-based Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) Grade 8

ELA Writing assessment(s) on Tuesday, March 7th. Your student will have an opportunity to participate in a practice test to become

familiar with the computer-based testing platform, item types, and response formats he or she will see on the FSA assessments. If you or

your student would like to review the computer-based practice test at home, the practice tests and answer keys are available at

http://www.fsassessments.org/students-and-families/practice-tests/.

For information regarding test session lengths for all Spring 2017 FSA assessments, please visit the FSA Portal at www.fsassessments.org,

click on the Students and Families icon, then select Spring 2017 Testing Times.

Please review the following policies with your student before testing:

Electronic Devices—Students are not permitted to have any electronic devices, including, but not limited to, cell phones,

smartphones, and smartwatches, at any time during testing or during breaks (e.g., restroom), even if the devices are turned off

or students do not use them. If your student is found with an electronic device, his or her test will be invalidated.

Testing Rules Acknowledgment—All FSA tests include a Testing Rules Acknowledgment that reads: “I understand the testing

rules that were just read to me. If I do not follow these rules, my test score may be invalidated.” Prior to testing, test

administrators read the rules to students, and students acknowledge that they understand the testing rules by signing below the

statement on their planning sheets, worksheets, or work folders.

Discussing Test Content after Testing—The last portion of the testing rules read to students before they sign below the Testing

Rules Acknowledgment states: “Because the content in all statewide assessments is secure, you may not discuss or reveal details

about the passages or items after the test. This includes any type of electronic communication, such as texting, emailing, or

posting online, for example, on websites like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.” Please make sure your student understands that

“discussing” test content includes any kind of electronic communication, such as texting, emailing, or posting to blogs or social

media websites. While students may not share information about secure test content after testing, this policy is not

intended to prevent students from discussing their testing experiences with their parents/families.

Working Independently—Students are responsible for doing their own work during the test and for protecting their answers

from being seen by others. If students are caught cheating during testing, their tests will be invalidated. In addition, the Florida

Department of Education (FDOE) employs Caveon Test Security to analyze student test results to detect unusually similar answer

patterns. Student tests within a school that are found to have extremely similar answer patterns will be invalidated.

Leaving Campus—If your student begins a test session and leaves campus before completing it (for lunch, an appointment or

illness, etc.), he or she will not be allowed to return to that test session. If your student does not feel well on the day of testing, it

may be best for him or her to wait and be tested on a make-up day. Please remember not to schedule appointments on testing

days.

Testing Accommodations—If your student has an Individual Education Plan (IEP), Section 504 plan, or English Language

Learner (ELL) plan, please contact the school to discuss the testing accommodations that will be provided for your student.

If you have any questions related to this test administration, you may contact the school at (772) 337-5900. For more information about

the FSA program, please visit the FSA Portal at www.FSAssessments.org.

Thank you for supporting your student and encouraging him or her to do his or her best during this test administration.

www.fsassessments.org, klike sou senbòl Elèv ak Fanmi, epi chwazi Lè Egzamen Prentan 2017 yo.

Silvouplè revize règ k ap suiv yo avèk elèv ou a anvan egzamen an:

■ Aparèy Elektwonik—Yo pa pèmèt elèv sèvi avèk okenn aparèy elektwonik ki gen ladan, men ki pa limite a, telefòn pòtab, telefòn

■ Deklarasyon Konpreyansyon Règleman pou Egzamen an—Tout egzamen FSA yo gen ladan yon Deklarasyon Konpreyansyon

sou Règleman Egzamen an ki di: “Mwen konprann règleman egzamen yo fèk li pou mwen yo. Si mwen pa suiv règleman sa yo, yo

e elèv yo dwe fè konnen yo konprann règleman egzamen an nan siyen anba deklarasyon sou fèyè planifikasyon yo, feyè travay yo,

oubyen katab travay yo.

pou detekte modèl repons ki parèt etranj tèlman yo sanble. Yo ap anile rezilta elèv nan yon lekòl yo jwenn avèk modèl repons ki

ekstrèmman sanble.

Kite Kanpous la— Si elèv ou a kòmanse yon sesyon egzamen e kite kanpous la anvan li fini l (pou repa midi, yon randevou,

oubyen maladi eks.), yo pap kite l retounen nan sesyon egzamen sa a. Si elèv ou a pa santi l byen jou egzamen an, li ka pi bon pou l

Estimados padres de familia o tutores:

La presente tiene por objetivo notificarle que su estudiante tomará las pruebas de Florida Standards Assessments (FSA), que se

administrarán por computadora en el grado 8 Composición ELA el martes, 7 de marzo. Su estudiante ha tenido la oportunidad de participar

en una prueba de entrenamiento para familiarizarse con el tipo de plataforma para pruebas en computadora, con los tipos de contenido y con

los formatos de las respuestas que encontrará en las evaluaciones FSA. Si usted o su estudiante desea familiarizarse en casa con el material

de la prueba en computadora, las pruebas de práctica están disponibles con sus respuestas en http://www.fsassessments.org/students-and-

families/practice-tests/.

Para obtener información acerca de la duración de las pruebas de FSA de la primavera del 2017, por favor, visite el Portal FSA en

www.FSAssessments.org, haga “clic” en el icono de Students and Parents y después seleccione Spring 2017 Testing Times.

Por favor, revise las siguientes pólizas con su estudiante antes de que tome la prueba:

■ Dispositivos electrónicos - A los estudiantes no se les permite tener ningún dispositivo electrónico, incluyendo, pero que no se limitan a, teléfonos

celulares, teléfonos ‘smart’, ni relojes ‘smart’ en ningún momento durante las pruebas o durante los recesos (e.g., ir al baño), aun cuando estén apagados o

los estudiantes no los estén utilizando. Si se encuentra a su estudiante con un dispositivo electrónico, su prueba se invalidará.

■ Acuerdo de los reglamentos de las pruebas - Todas las pruebas FSA incluyen una declaración donde se aceptan los reglamentos de las pruebas y que

dice, “Entiendo los reglamentos de las pruebas que me acaban de leer. Si no cumplo con estos reglamentos, puede que se invaliden las calificaciones de mis

pruebas”. Antes de las pruebas, los encargados de administrarlas leerán los reglamentos a los estudiantes y los estudiantes deben confirmar que entienden

los reglamentos de las pruebas firmando sus nombres debajo de la declaración en sus hojas de planeamiento, sus hojas de ejercicios o en sus carpetas de

trabajo.

■ Divulgación del contenido de las pruebas una vez que se ha concluido la evaluación - En la última parte de los reglamentos de las pruebas que se leyó

a los estudiantes antes de que firmen confirmando que han entendido la declaración, se lee lo siguiente: “Debido a que el contenido de todas las pruebas

estatales es confidencial, una vez que haya terminado de hacer sus pruebas no puede discutir los detalles acerca del contenido de las pruebas con nadie. Esto

incluye cualquier tipo de comunicación electrónica, como, textos o correos electrónicos, o por medio de la publicación en línea, como por ejemplo, en

páginas sociales como “Facebook”, “Twitter” o “Instagram”. Por favor, asegúrese que su estudiante entiende que “discutir/hablar” sobre el contenido de

las pruebas incluye cualquier tipo de comunicación electrónica, como mensajes de texto, correos electrónicos, publicaciones en “blogs” o en páginas

sociales de la Web. Aunque después de las pruebas, los estudiantes no pueden compartir información acerca del contenido confidencial de las

pruebas, esta política no tiene la intención de impedir que los estudiantes compartan sus experiencias sobre las pruebas con sus padres o familiares.

■ Trabajo individual - Los estudiantes son responsables de dar sus propias respuestas en las pruebas y de protegerlas para que sus respuestas no puedan ser

vistas por otros. Las pruebas se invalidarán si durante la prueba se sorprende a los estudiantes haciendo trampas. Además, el Departamento de Educación

de la Florida (Florida Department of Education, FDOE) emplea a la compañía de seguridad Caveon Test Security para que analice los resultados de las

pruebas de los estudiantes con el fin de detectar patrones inusualmente similares en las respuestas. Los resultados de las pruebas de los estudiantes se

invalidarán, si se encuentra en una misma escuela, patrones de respuestas extremadamente similares.

■ Si se abandona el recinto - Si su estudiante abandona el recinto antes de terminar sus pruebas (para el almuerzo, por una cita o por enfermedad, etc.), no

se le permitirá que termine la sesión de esa prueba. Si su estudiante no se siente bien el día de la prueba, puede que sea mejor que espere a tomar la prueba

en el día designado para retomarlas. Por favor, también tenga en cuenta de no concertar citas en los días en que se imparten las pruebas.

■ Arreglos especiales para tomar la prueba - Si su estudiante tiene un Plan de Educación Individual (Individual Education Plan, IEP), un plan de Sección

504 o un Plan para Principiantes del Idioma Inglés (English Language Learner Plan, ELL), por favor, comuníquese con la escuela para que lleguen a un

acuerdo sobre los arreglos especiales que se le proporcionarán a su estudiante.

Si tuviese alguna pregunta relacionada con la administración de esta prueba, se puede comunicar con la escuela al (772) 337-5900. Para más

información acerca del programa FSA, visite el FSA Portal en www.FSAssessments.org.

Gracias por apoyar a su estudiante y animarlo para que ponga su mayor empeño durante la administración de esta prueba.

Atentamente,

Nicole Telese

Standards Assessments (FSA), que se administrarán en los grados 6 y 7 Composición ELA el martes, 28 de febrero. Su estudiante tendrá la

oportunidad de participar en una prueba de entrenamiento para familiarizarse con los tipos de contenido y con los formatos de las respuestas

que encontrará en las evaluaciones FSA. Si usted o su estudiante desea familiarizarse con el material de la prueba y con los formatos de las

preguntas y respuestas en papel puede visitar http://www.fsassessments.org/students-and-families/practice-tests/paper-based-practice-test-

materials/.

Para obtener información acerca de la duración de las pruebas de FSA de la primavera del 2017, por favor, visite el Portal FSA en

www.FSAssessments.org, haga “clic” en el icono de Students and Families y después seleccione Spring 2017 Testing Times.

Por favor, revise las siguientes pólizas con su estudiante antes de que tome la prueba:

■ Dispositivos electrónicos—A los estudiantes no se les permite tener ningún dispositivo electrónico, incluyendo, pero que no se limitan a, teléfonos

celulares, teléfonos ‘smart’, ni relojes ‘smart’ en ningún momento durante las pruebas o durante los recesos (e.g., ir al baño), aun cuando estén apagados o

los estudiantes no los estén utilizando. Si se encuentra a su estudiante con un dispositivo electrónico, su prueba se invalidará.

■ Acuerdo de los reglamentos de las pruebas—Todas las pruebas FSA incluyen una declaración donde se aceptan los reglamentos de las pruebas y que

dice, “Entiendo los reglamentos de las pruebas que me acaban de leer. Si no cumplo con estos reglamentos, puede que se invaliden las calificaciones de mis

pruebas”. Antes de las pruebas, los encargados de administrarlas, leerán los reglamentos a los estudiantes y los estudiantes deben confirmar que entienden

los reglamentos de las pruebas firmando sus nombres debajo de la declaración en sus cuadernos de pruebas y respuestas.

■ Divulgación del contenido de las pruebas una vez que se ha concluido la evaluación—En la última parte de los reglamentos de las pruebas que se leyó

a los estudiantes antes que firmen confirmando que han entendido la declaración, se lee lo siguiente: “Debido a que el contenido de todas las pruebas

estatales es confidencial, una vez que haya terminado de hacer sus pruebas no puede discutir los detalles acerca del contenido de las pruebas con nadie. Esto

incluye cualquier tipo de comunicación electrónica, como, textos o correos electrónicos, o por medio de la publicación en línea, como por ejemplo, en

páginas sociales como “Facebook”, “Twitter” o “Instagram”. Por favor, asegúrese que su estudiante entiende que “discutir/hablar” sobre el contenido de

las pruebas incluye cualquier tipo de comunicación electrónica, como mensajes de texto, correos electrónicos, publicaciones en “blogs” o en páginas

sociales de la Web. Aunque después de las pruebas, los estudiantes no pueden compartir información acerca del contenido confidencial de las

pruebas, esta política no tiene la intención de impedir que los estudiantes compartan sus experiencias sobre las pruebas con sus padres o familiares.

■ Trabajo individual —Los estudiantes son responsables de dar sus propias respuestas en las pruebas y de protegerlas para que sus respuestas no puedan

ser vistas por otros. Las pruebas se invalidarán si durante la prueba se sorprende a los estudiantes haciendo trampas. Además, el Departamento de

Educación de la Florida (Florida Department of Education, FDOE) emplea a la compañía de seguridad Caveon Test Security para que analice los resultados

de las pruebas de los estudiantes con el fin de detectar patrones inusualmente similares en las respuestas. Los resultados de las pruebas de los estudiantes se

invalidarán, si se encuentra en una misma escuela, patrones de respuestas extremadamente similares.

■ Si se abandona el recinto—Si su estudiante abandona el recinto antes de terminar sus pruebas (para el almuerzo, por una cita o por enfermedad, etc.), no

se le permitirá que termine la sesión de esa prueba. Si su estudiante no se siente bien el día de la prueba, puede que sea mejor que espere a tomar la prueba

en el día designado para retomarlas. Por favor, también tenga en cuenta de no concertar citas en los días en que se imparten las pruebas.

■ Arreglos especiales para tomar la prueba—Si su estudiante tiene un Plan de Educación Individual (Individual Education Plan, IEP), un plan de

Sección 504 o un Plan para Principiantes del Idioma Inglés (English Language Learner Plan, ELL), por favor, comuníquese con la escuela para que lleguen

a un acuerdo sobre los arreglos especiales que se le proporcionarán a su estudiante.

Si tuviese alguna pregunta relacionada con la administración de esta prueba, se puede comunicar con la escuela al (772) 337-5900. Para más

información acerca del programa FSA, visite el FSA Portal en www.fsassessments.org.

Gracias por apoyar a su estudiante y animarlo para que ponga su mayor empeño durante la administración de esta prueba.

Atentamente,

Nicole Telese

Directora de la Escuela
