4th and 5th Grade Parents – We Need Your Help!
April 10th and 11th, our 4th and 5th grade Gators will be participating in STAAR testing. We ask that you help your child be prepared for these two days of testing by following these important tips:
- Make sure that your child gets enough sleep.
- Feed your child a healthy, protein-rich and nutritious breakfast
- Speak positive about the STAAR test and let your child know that they will do great, and you will be proud of them no matter what.
- Attendance is critical!!! Make sure that your child is at school on time, and ready for action every day that the state tests are being administered.
Thank you so much for being involved in your child’s academic success!
