During the next few weeks the teachers in the 5th and 8th grades will be giving their students a Religious assessment test. The purpose of the ACRE (Assessment of Children/Youth Religious Education) Test is to assess the effectiveness of the program of religious instruction by examining students’ cumulative knowledge of the Catholic faith. The results from the score report can help improve overall strategies for teaching and faith formation. The test takes approximately 75 minutes.
We are looking forward to using the results to better our Religion program. This test is given each year to the 5th & 8th graders.
Everyone contributing to the class baskets will win a dress down day (Date TBA)!
