Some helpful hints to help your child do his or her best next week:
1. Please be sure your child gets plenty of rest the night before testing.
2. Please encourage your child eat a healthy breakfast each morning of testing.
3. Please arrive to school on time each day so your child does not feel rushed.
4. Our teachers and students have been working hard all school year. Please help your student feel confident going into testing by providing positive encouragement. Most people are not huge fans of standardized testing, but what is most important is to encourage students to do his or her personal best!
