ISTEP+ and IREAD3 Testing
You can prepare your child/ren for testing by doing the following:
- Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep before a test and make sure your child eats properly the day of the test.
- Make sure your child has taken any needed medications.
- Ensure that your child is present during testing (children generally perform better when taking tests at their scheduled times rather than at a make-up time.)
- Arrive at school on time.
- Wish your child good luck each morning of the test. Tell your child that he/she is special and that you believe in him/her.
- Remind your child the test is important, Encourage him/her to do his/her best.
- Remind your child to listen carefully to the instructions from the teacher and to read the directions and each question carefully.

Box Top Collection - Reminder
From now until February, we are going to be collection Box Tops. Send them to school anytime and in any amount! Teachers will be collecting Box Tops and the more they collect, the further their race car travels! (Check out the race in action in the library next time you're visiting the school!) The kids are very excited to help get their class race car moving ahead of the pack! So search high and wide, tell your friends and family to collect and keep those Box Tops coming!
On your mark, get set, GO!!!
