Bailey Station Elementary Where Children Are Loved and Love To Learn!
TNReady Testing - April 16th - May 1st
1. We ask that you make sure that your child has breakfast each morning and gets lots of sleep each night!
2. Please do not check your child in late as this will cause them to have to go to another room to take the test as they cannot go into the classroom once testing has started. If a student misses a test this year when they return they have to make up the test they missed before they can take the next test. This is a new state directive and is different from last year. So, best practice would be to make sure that your child is at school on time every day during this time!
3. Please do not check your children out early if possible because we will be teaching the skills for the last 9 weeks after testing is completed. It is very important for them to be here in the afternoon so that they do not miss out on learning!
4. We also will not have before school clubs so that students have an opportunity to eat breakfast and be rested!
5. We ask that you do not come and eat with your child during this testing time because the lunch schedule will change as needed to accommodate testing needs for different grades!
Thank you for helping us make this testing experience the best we can for our students! We want them to know that they have done their best and that we are very proud of them!
