STATE TESTING: Friendly reminders:

1. Remind your child/children that their consistent effort throughout the school year, paying attention, asking questions, completing all classwork and homework, and engaging in outside learning, has prepared them well for these assessments. Encourage them to remain focused and do their very best work on each assessment.
2. It is important for your child to get enough rest the night before.
3. A nutritious breakfast boosts academic performance by providing sustained energy, improving concentration, and enhancing memory for test-taking.
4. Punctuality before testing is crucial for reducing anxiety and ensuring a calm, focused mindset.
5. Please avoid scheduling any appointments or trips during testing as make-up periods are very limited.
6. Your child needs to come to school each day with a FULLY charged Chromebook.
