ACT Aspire Testing
Challenger Elementary
Testing Dates: May 2nd – 5th
Parents:
Our state testing of ACT Aspire is vastly approaching us. We just want to remind me you of a few things to help us prepare. Our lower grades are very excited about offering support to our 3rd-5th grade students at this very important time of the year, also!!
We would greatly appreciate you making sure the following things happen at home:
- Make sure your child gets plenty of rest.
- Make sure your child is at school by 7:30 am, especially, if they’re planning to eat breakfast at the school.
- Avoid scheduling appointments during the week of testing.
- We are unable to remove students from testing unless it’s an emergency.
- Make sure computers are charged nightly and nothing is downloaded.
- There won’t be any reason for your child to use computer at home except to charge it.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

HELP! Laptops!!
Please help us by reminding your child to charge his or her laptop EVERY NIGHT! We have a lot of testing and daily activities that require these to be fully charged. It's very disruptive to the day when they are not charged.
Also, check with your child to make sure they have their bag and charger. These items will have to be purchased at the end of the year if they are not located.
Thank you so much for your help!
