✏️ B.E.S.T. Writing Assessment – March 31

On Tuesday, March 31, our 4th and 5th grade students will participate in the B.E.S.T. Writing State Assessment (Homerooms). This important assessment allows students to demonstrate their writing skills and their understanding of Florida’s academic standards.

At Bob Sikes Elementary, we know our Bullpups have been working hard all year to strengthen their writing through planning, drafting, revising, and editing. This assessment is a great opportunity for them to showcase their growth and learning!


🌟 How Families Can Help

Your support makes a big difference in helping students feel confident and prepared. Here are a few simple ways you can help your child succeed:

  • Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep before testing

  • Provide a healthy breakfast on the morning of the assessment

  • Make sure your child arrives on time to start the day stress-free

  • Encourage a positive mindset—remind them to do their best

  • Talk with your child about the Plan → Write → Edit process they use at school
