๐Ÿ“˜ Milestones Testing – Grades 3, 4, and 5 ๐Ÿ“˜

We are gearing up for Milestones testing! Testing will begin promptly at 8:00 AM for all our dates.

A CTLS post was shared with all 3rd–5th grade families on April 13 with the testing dates and grade levels. Please take a moment to review that information.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Dr. Sutton at Jessica.Sutton@cobbk12.org.
