Dear Robert A. Cross Middle Magnet School Families,

We want to make you aware of our upcoming DRC BEACON Assessments, which serve as practice for the Georgia Milestones. According to our winter testing schedule. Students in grades 6–8 will participate in both Reading/ELA and Math assessments.

The DRC BEACON is an adaptive, formative assessment that exposes students to Milestones-style questions using the same testing platform. It also helps us measure academic growth throughout the year and provides valuable data for teachers to tailor instruction to meet each student’s needs.

Please encourage your child to get a good night’s rest, arrive on time, and take their time doing their best on each assessment.
