ITBS Assessments Next Week
ITBS Assessments (3rd-8th grade)
ITBS testing for grades 3-8 will start Monday, Sept. 23 and continue through Friday, Sept. 27. This standardized achievement test is one tool used to assess how your child is retaining the concepts learned in school. Of course formal assessments can be limited in that they also are subject to the variables affecting your child at the moment that the test is taken. That is why it is so important to help your child be at their best for test days. Please help your child follow the test taking guidelines below:
1. Get 8-9 hours of sleep each night
2. Eat healthy and hearty breakfasts
3. Stay hydrated (water)
4. Plan to exercise to clear the mind
5. Stay positive and strive to do your best!
