Dear 3rd-5th Grade Families:
We want to share an important update about this year’s Georgia Milestones Assessment (GMAS) scores for English Language Arts (ELA).
Due to new ELA standards and changes to the assessment, the state of Georgia is taking additional time to score and review the tests. Because of this, ELA scores from Spring 2026 will not be released until November 2026.
Please note that this delay is happening across the entire state and is not specific to our school.
We know how important this information is, and we will share your child’s results as soon as they become available. In the meantime, we will continue to support your child’s learning and growth in the classroom. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Thank you for your continued support!
