Wildcat Families,

Please help our students be on time to school! School starts at 7:40. This means students must be in their 1st block classroom at 7:40 every morning or else they will be required to check in at the attendance office. We want our wildcats in class and prepared to learn by 7:40. Thank you for your help encouraging our students to be on time to school every day!

Wildcat Families!

Here are 10 helpful tips to help you prepare for testing.

1. Make sure your student brings their CHARGED IPAD to school every day! We will use iPads EVERY DAY for testing.
2. Attendance Matters! Make sure your child attends school every day. Make sure your child gets up early enough so that they will be on time to school.
3. Mark down test days on your calendar so you and your child are both aware of testing dates.
4. Make sure that your child gets enough sleep on the night before the test.
   
5. Ensure that your child eats a healthy breakfast, avoid heavy foods that may make him/her groggy, and avoid high sugar foods that may make him/her hyper.
   
6. If your child is struggling on his/her tests, talk to him/her about it and meet with his/her teacher to find out the best way to help your child.
7. Talk about the test with your child to help relieve stress about test taking.
8. Praise your child for their hard work preparing for a test.
9. Provide a quiet, well lit area with few distractions to help your child study efficiently.
10. Keep a positive attitude about tests.

Please remember all medication given to students must be done in the nurse’s office. Parents/Guardians, if you bring medicine for your student, please make sure you take it to the nurse’s office so it can be properly documented. Thank you for your cooperation!

KSTM Families:

Please remember students cannot wear blankets or ball caps at school during the school day. Students will be asked to put these items away if they are wearing them. If a student refuses to put away the blanket or ball cap, it will be taken from the student by administration for the remainder of the school day.

Please help remind your student about this expectation at home. We appreciate your help and support in this matter!

We will recognize and reward students from every grade level for earning DoJo points! Students earn DoJo points in their classes for being:
