Bolivar High School will recognize the recipients of the academic letter at the 2nd semester Academic Banquet, Tuesday, June 16 at 5:30 pm in the BHS commons. Invitations will be sent to the families of students who qualify for this honor.

March 30, 2009

Dear Parent/Guardian,

You are receiving this letter because your student will be taking one or more End-of-Course (EOC) Exams at Bolivar High School in the coming weeks. At the high school level, the EOC tests are replacing MAP testing as the statewide assessment of learning in Missouri. The purpose of the testing is to measure student progress toward postsecondary readiness and to meet state and national accountability requirements. Below is an outline of the schedule for EOC testing:

While the EOC tests are similar to MAP in some respects, one significant change is that these exams will count for 10% of each student’s grade for 2^nd semester in the corresponding course. These exams are designed to directly assess the content learned for the specific course. For each EOC, students will have one session of multiple choice items and one session of performance events designed to be completed in two class periods total. Upon completion of the exam, the multiple choice items will be sent to Riverside Publishing for scoring while the performance events will be scored locally by BHS teachers. Students and parents will be promptly notified of results since these scores will affect 2^nd semester grades.

Traditionally, Bolivar High School students have done very well on a variety of state and national tests. We believe our past successes are due in part to excellent instruction provided by highly qualified teachers using research-based practices. We also realize much of our success is due to incredible support from our parents and community. You can continue to help support your child’s education by reviewing the expectations on the back of this letter and discussing the EOC exams with your student. We are confident Bolivar students are learning and achieving at a high level and look forward to our test results confirming the outstanding efforts of the BHS community.

Yours in education,

Dr. David Geurin
