Weekly Warrior

Just one more test to go! On Tuesday, June 4, all students will participate in the Math EOG or Math I EOC.

In order to prepare for End of Year Testing, check out these tips and expectations:

Before the Test

Study, get a good night's sleep and hydrate. On test day, arrive early to school and eat a balanced breakfast. Our cafeteria will provide a delicious, free breakfast for students. Bring a water bottle and a book to read after the test is over.

Electronics and Backpacks

All electronics, including cell phones, smart watches and air pods, will be placed in backpacks until the end of the testing session. Backpacks are to be lined up neatly in the hallway until all testing is complete. Student belongings will be monitored by an adult.

Sign Outs

Students may not be signed out on testing days until the testing session is complete. Approximate completion times are 11:30 for Science and Reading, and 12:30 for Math.

Do Your Best!

Our students are much more than a test score. Warriors are curious, enthusiastic, courageous, creative, compassionate, resilient, humorous, empathetic, resourceful, unique, kind and so much more that can not be measured by a test. Encourage your student to try their best, because that's the Warrior Way.
