Dear Parents & Guardians, As you may know, your student has been preparing to take the end of year writing test. We have been working hard in class to make sure that each student has the writing skills necessary to not only do well on the test, but be a successful writer in the future. But some students are still nervous about the test or their ability to perform well. Some students may want additional practice to prepare for the SAGE Writing assessment.
