Word of the Month of May: Integrity Ambrose is continuing to administer the GMAS (Georgia Milestones Assessment System) during April 28th-April 30th. This test measures how well our students have acquired the knowledge and skills taught during the school year. The purpose of the test is to ensure students are learning at their grade level to provide data to teachers, schools, and school districts in order to make better instructional decisions. Our students and staff have worked very hard to prepare for these tests. We are asking for you to help us prepare them further for the testing. April/MAY Newsletter Georgia Milestones Information Georgia Milestones Tips Explain the purpose of the test. Let your child know that you consider the test important and that they should try his/her best. Be sure that your child gets plenty of sleep. Be sure your child is at school on time.
