Release the Beast!
During ACAP, we are going to "Release the Beast," meaning that all of us are going to set the expectation for EES excellence. Students, teachers, families, and our community are coming together to show that East is BEAST! Our expectations are high, our teachers have prepared, our students are ready, and incentives are available. We need your help because you are all East Beasts, too. Here are a few tips to help our children show their success:
Be present and on time to school. Students missing school or arriving late will not be allowed to test on that day. They will make up missed sections on Make-up Testing Days at the end of the each week. Research shows that this lowers their achievement level.
Your child needs a minimum of 8 hours sleep each night; we recommend 10 hrs.
Eating a light healthy breakfast before testing increases student focus.
Replace television and video games with books, flash cards, and/or educational websites.
Be positive and supportive about testing.
Use phrases of encouragement each morning: “You can do it,” or, “I believe in you,” or my personal favorite, “Hakuna Matata!”
Practice relaxation techniques, such as breathing and stretching exercises, with your child.
Remind your child to read directions and to listen intently to instructions.
Tell your child to review and check answers before he/she concludes the test.
Do not schedule trips, dental or medical appointments, or pre-lunch check-outs during testing days.
As is our tradition, we are going to set the standard of excellence at East Elementary. Our children & our teachers always rise to the occasion; and, this task will be no different. Here we go! RELEASE THE BEAST!
