Wildwood Weekly

Over the next two weeks, our 3rd through 5th grade students will be participating in state testing. These assessments are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate what they’ve learned throughout the year. Please help your child be successful by ensuring they get plenty of rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive to school on time each day.

We suggest you review the following general preparation suggestions which are beneficial for student of any grade:

1. Get plenty of sleep – A consistent bedtime routine helps students stay focused and energized during the school day.

2. Eat a healthy breakfast – A nutritious meal in the morning supports attention and learning.

3. Arrive on time – Being on time helps students start the day calmly and ready to learn.

4. Encourage a positive mindset – Remind your child to try their best and that mistakes are part of learning.

5. Limit screen time at night – Reducing screen use before bed can improve sleep quality and overall well-being.

Warmly,

Mr. Lynch
