Hi Penguin Families! I am Joan Lynch, the School Counselor at Pattengill. This is my first full year at Pattengill. I started my career as a math, science, and 5th grade teacher. Here at Pattengill, I support students through classroom lessons, small groups, and individual meetings. I enjoy visiting classrooms to build relationships. Feel free to contact me at joan.lynch@berkleyschools.org.

M-STEP Testing
M-STEP Testing
3rd through 5th grade students will begin M-STEP testing in the coming weeks. 3rd and 4th grade students are assessed in ELA and Math while 5th grade will be assessed in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Schools and districts use test results, among others, for school improvement initiatives that benefit students. The data gathered from this year's state assessments and other data will help our staff support students when they return to school next school year and move forward with their education.
Before the Test Tips
*Develop a positive attitude. Tell yourself, "I will do my best on this test."
*Get a good night's sleep the night before the test.
*Get up early enough to avoid hurrying to get ready for school.
*Eat a healthy breakfast.
During the Test Tips
*Relax and Stay calm.
*Listen carefully to the directions the teacher gives.
*Ask questions if you don't understand what to do.
*Read each question carefully. Find the key words. Try to figure out what the question is really asking.
*Read the entire question and look at all the answer choices.
*Take your time picking the best answer
