East Lee County Parents/Guardians,
The students and staff will participate in a series of Ready to Work career readiness testing initiated and
funded by the State of Florida. The testing will take place at school on Wednesday, February 18th; Thursday,
February 19th and Friday, February 20th. The tests are scheduled during assembly time and will not interfere
with your student’s regularly scheduled classes.
Your student will take written placement tests in three skill areas: Applied Mathematics, Reading for
Information and Locating Information. Research shows that these tests measure the fundamental
“workplace” math, reading and problem-solving skills required for more than 85 percent of all jobs today.
The following paragraphs will explain the Florida Ready to Work program.
Florida Ready to Work floridareadytowork.com
Florida Ready to Work is an innovative, new workforce education and economic development program. The
centerpiece of the program is the Florida Ready to Work credential, a career readiness certificate – signed by
Governor Charlie Crist – that certifies that a Florida student/jobseeker has the fundamental job skills
necessary to succeed in today’s rapidly changing and competitive economy.
Florida Ready to Work is sponsored and funded by the State of Florida. The program is administered by the
Florida Department of Education in partnership with the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation.
The program is being implemented by regional workforce boards, community colleges, high schools, and other
workforce development and education partners statewide.
These tests will not affect your student’s grade or graduation requirements. We highly recommend that your
student attempt to perform their best during these tests as Ready to Work credentials and career readiness
certificates will be presented to students meeting or exceeding industry standards. The score results will be
shared by the counselors with your student. This is an outstanding assessment tool that will help us better
prepare your student for his high school career and beyond.
Thank you for encouraging your student to always participate in school and strive for academic success as we
prepare for the challenges of tomorrow – today.
Mr. Ronald Davis
Principal
