For Parents or Guardians of Students in Grades 3 and 6:
During the weeks of May 22 to June 4, 2018, students in grades 3 and 6 will be participating in the Education Quality and
Accountability Office’s (EQAO’s) Assessment of Reading, Writing and
Mathematics, Primary Division (Grade 3) and Junior Division (Grade 6).
In six one-hour sessions, students in grades 3 and 6 will complete a variety of assessment activities designed to allow them to
demonstrate their skills and knowledge relating to reading, writing and
mathematics as described in The Ontario
Curriculum. The assessment is administered province-wide and is developed
by Ontario teachers and assessment experts to reflect curriculum expectations.
EQAO has developed
a “Parent’s Guide to EQAO Tests” and “Questions and Answers for Parents”
(available in 20 languages) to give you more information about the assessments
and an understanding of what to expect. To access these resources, go to the
EQAO Web site (www.eqao.com), click “Parent
Resources” and then select “Primary Division (Grades 1–3) and Junior Division
(Grades 4–6).”
