Testing Tips
Get plenty of sleep the night before a test. It really does make a difference in your brain's ability to function!
Eat a healthy breakfast on testing mornings to fuel the brain!
Relax! You and your teachers have worked hard to prepare for this day. We believe in you!
What can you do?
It is common for students to be a little nervous about taking any test, especially the STAAR test. If your child is nervous about the test, take time to remind them about all of the strategies they have learned at school. Have your child share their strategies with you. Remind them of all they have done to prepare for this test. HES has been aiming for excellence all year and this is their opportunity to show off all they have learned!
