AZ MERIT TESTING WINDOW MARCH 30-MAY 8
ATTENDANCE DURING TESTING WINDOW IS VERY IMPORTANT!
Students at Fremont will take AzMERIT in English Language Arts and Math at their grade level.
The English Language Arts test includes a writing portion and a reading portion.
Writing The writing portion will require students to read a few passages and then write about
them. This type of task requires students to think deeper about topics and use evidence to
support their thinking.
Reading The reading portion will be administered in two parts. This will ensure students have
ample time to read and answer questions. The test will also contain editing tasks to measure
student awareness of fundamental skills like spelling and grammar.
Math The math portion will be administered in two parts. This will ensure students have
ample time to read and answer questions. The test will ask questions that check a student’s
conceptual understanding of math as well as their procedural skills.
TESTING WILL BE DONE ON COMPUTERS AT FREMONT FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TO:

Date: February 2015
To: Parents, Guardians and Employees of Mesa Unified School District #4
From: Keith Bonkoski – Maintenance Supervisor/Asbestos Coordinator
Subject: Asbestos Awareness and Management Plan
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires all private and public elementary and secondary schools to inspect
for asbestos containing materials in school buildings. The AHERA protocol also states that the Local Education Agency (LEA) perform
a three-year inspection, and every six months a site surveillance inspection, and to provide notification to all parties concerned of
any changes or updates. Parent and employee notifications must be made on a yearly basis. During the school year there may be
asbestos removed from this site if a response action is required or if there are renovations. The Mesa Public Schools Management
Plans are available for review at the Operations Building located at 555 South Lewis Street in Mesa. Your site specific Management
Plan is located at each school/site Administration Office. Although some material containing asbestos might be found at your site, it
presents no health hazard to students or staff. This material is inspected every six months, as stated. If you have any questions
concerning this matter, please contact me at 480-472-6014.
Thank you,
Keith Bonkoski
