March GA Milestones: Round 2 - Practice Challenge
As you know, all our 3rd through 5th grade students will be assessed on the Georgia
Milestones later this spring. For more information about the Georgia Milestones visit our state
testing website here.
This is our 2nd installment of our Milestones Practice Challenge for 3rd-5th grade students
and parents! This week we are looking at the Math section (click here for 3rd, here for
4th, here for 5th).
Additionally, all parents can take a sample test (this is different from the above tests) as these

Placement Consideration for 2019-2020
school year
The State Bridge Crossing Administration is
committed to placing each child in his/her best
learning environment. An enormous amount of time
and effort is devoted to placing each child
appropriately. Placement consideration forms from
parents are one of many factors considered as part of
the placement process.
If you feel that your child has unique learning needs
or if there are other considerations you would like to
bring to our attention, you may choose to complete
the 2019-2020 Parent Placement Consideration Form
linked below and also available on the State Bridge
Crossing website. Forms should be returned to the
front office in a sealed envelope to the attention of
Sarah Gruber, Curriculum Support Teacher on or
before 2:30 pm on Friday, March 29. While we
welcome your input regarding your child's individual
learning needs, we cannot accept emails, phone calls,
or hold personal conferences regarding student
placement. Please contact Sarah Gruber, Curriculum
Support Teacher, with any questions.
Click here for the 2019-2020 Parent Placement
Consideration form and information.
