3G Ohio State Test
Dear Parents and Guardians of 3rd Grade Students,
In two weeks, all Brunswick City School District 3rd grade students will be taking the English Language Arts Ohio State Test. The assessment is given over two days; Part 1 will be administered on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 and Part 2 will be given on Thursday, October 29, 2026. During the spring, 3rd grade students will once again take the English Language Arts Ohio State Test, as well as the 3rd grade Mathematics assessment.
The purpose of the fall test is to help us better understand students’ strengths and areas of growth in the skills outlined in Ohio’s English Language Arts Learning Standards. Your child’s teacher will use the data from the assessment to help guide instruction to meet the individual instructional needs of all of our students.
There are a variety of things you can do to help prepare your student to do their best on this assessment:
Avoid doctor’s appointments and other planned absences on October 28th and 29th.
Encourage your child to get a good night of sleep.
Provide a healthy breakfast.
Ensure your child arrives at school on time.
Additionally, you can access practice resources for your child by visiting the following website: https://oh-ost.portal.cambiumast.com/families.html
Ultimately, one of the best things parents, guardians, teachers and principals can do for our students is to encourage them to do their best!
Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or principal with any questions. Additionally, I invite you to reach out to me at any time.
Sincerely,
Patrick Geschke
Director of Instruction and Innovation
