Your child and his/her teacher have spent this past year working tirelessly to prepare for these tests. Your child has been practicing test taking skills; however this may be the first time he/she will be taking tests of this magnitude.
We need your help to ensure your child is as successful as possible. Please encourage your child to do their best each day and come to school prepared to rock this test! Here are some things you can do to prepare your student:
Get a good night’s sleep EACH NIGHT!!
Arrive to school on time, no later than 7:50 a.m.!!
Eat a hearty breakfast, either at home or at school!!
Keep a positive attitude!!
Your child’s success is a TEAM effort! Thank you for all you do!
