Alert #2--New testing rules from the state have come down. Any student who has possession or access to any electronic device, such as a cell phone, iPod, or mp3 player, MUST have their test invalidated even if the devices are turned off. Please be sure to tell your student to take special care with their electronic items. Our suggestion is that these items be left at home or kept locked in vehicles or in lockers.

Alert #3--Checkouts from school will not be permitted for those students involved in the testing. The testing lasts the entire day on Tuesday, March 11, and Wednesday, March 12. There will be make-up days for students who are sick on test day.

Alert #4--Please encourage your student to get a good night's sleep before each of the tests and to eat a good breakfast before coming to school. Let them know that you take this testing seriously and that they should strive to do their best. High stakes testing such as the FCAT can be stressful for students, but with your attention and caring, your students will come thorough fine.

Cocoa Beach Jr/Sr High School has an outstanding record on the FCAT. Our students are well prepared and with your help we are looking for a repeat of past years' successes.
