Georgia Milestones Testing Tips and Schedule
Testing Tips for Students
In preparing students for any assessment, including Milestones, as well as class work, please review these strategies:
For each test question, read the entire question and then all the possible answers very carefully. You can even go back and reread the questions if needed. Do NOT stop reading the answers when you think you have the correct one, don’t think it’s always the best answer. You need to read all possible answers first, and then choose the best one.
Look for key words in the question. You need to read each questions very carefully first, looking for key words, such as the very tricky “not”, “all”, “now”, “always”, “never”, “only”, and “exactly”. These will help you to make a better choice.
Always go back to the passage, word problem, chart, graph, etc. and look for evidence to support your answer. This is a step you need to do. As we said before, there may be two choices out of the four that might be good answers. By going back into the story or problem, it will help you find the correct answer.
Most Important Tip: Make sure to remind yourself, “I can do it!” Just try your best!!
Class Placement Letters Due Friday, April 20th.
If you feel your child has special needs or if there are other considerations you would like to bring to our attention (ex: separate “best friends”; consider personal or family challenges, etc.) you will need to complete a Class Placement Request Form 2018-2019.
Placement requests must be made on this form and returned no later than Friday, April 20, 2018. This form is available on the Abbotts Hill website and in the school office. Please feel free to pick one up at any time or request one through your child’s teacher. Forms received after April 20, 2018 will not be accepted.News From The Clinic
If your student has borrowed any clothing items from the clinic in the last few weeks, please wash and have your student return them at your earliest convenience.
The clinic keeps a donated supply of clothing for girls and boys to use for any accidents that may occur during their school day. As the weather is changing, we are happily accepting bottoms (shorts, leggings, pants) for both boys & girls to restock the clinic closet. Elastic waistbands are always the most desirable as these can fit the widest range of students. Thank you so much for your support!
