Thank you for your support and if you have any questions or are interested in how you can continue to make a difference in this way please contact our school nurse, Julie Buchanan @ jbuchanan@littleelmisd.net

Benchmark Testing

Testing Date

Thursday, 2/11

Algebra I

A few reminders for these testing days for your learner:

1. Students should arrive on time. Please do your best to make sure there are not any conflicts with out of school appointments on these days for your student.
2. Get a good night’s rest in order to feel alert and ready to focus.
3. Eat a healthy breakfast either at home or at school.
4. Have a positive send off for your student in the am. Students should feel supported by you as well as confident that they are prepared. We know some nerves are typical and healthy. Again we will assure students that all the hard work until this point of the year is their preparation.

We want to remind parents and students that on testing day all cell phones and/or electronics must be turned in to teachers during the test for test security reasons. Cell phones will be taken care of and returned as soon as testing has concluded. Thanks in advance for reminding your student to do so.
