Gr 3-8 State Testing Begins
- Quality sleep - Ensure students practice a regular routine each night and go to sleep early. This will promote better sleep and a well-rested child each day.
- Healthy breakfasts - Food provides energy. The best energy for test taking comes from healthy breakfasts that are not high in sugar.
- Regular attendance - Students should not miss school during testing. Please schedule any appointments outside of the testing window.
- Being on time - When students arrive on time, they are more relaxed and are sure to get all the time they need fot the test.
- Motivation - Encourage your student to do his/her best!
Thank you!
