Hazelbrook Families,

After a week of preparing for the state test, students will begin testing on Monday. To learn more about the Oregon State Assessment System (OSAS), check out the information on TTSD’s testing page. Students' scores are used in conjunction with I-Ready data, academic grades, and teacher input to determine math placement as well as additional support that may be needed for your child.

Vanderbilt Health has some tips for families to help their child prepare for standardized tests. They include:

• The night before:

• Encourage teens to go to bed early enough to allow a full night’s sleep.

• Help children resolve immediate arguments before going to bed.

• Keep routines as normal as possible.

• Mention the test to show you’re interested, but don’t dwell on it.

• Plan ahead to avoid conflicts on the morning of the test. What tasks can you or your child get done the night before?

• The morning of:

• Get up early to avoid rushing. Be sure your children get to school on time.

• Have your child eat a good breakfast but not a heavy one. A balance of complex carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats is ideal.

• Have your child dress in something comfortable.

• Be positive about the test. Acknowledge that tests can be hard and that they’re designed so that no one will know all of the answers. Explain that doing your best is what counts. The important thing is to make your child comfortable and confident about the test.

• After the test:

• Talk to your child about the experience, making sure you acknowledge the effort such a task requires.

• Discuss what was easy and what was hard; discuss what your child learned from the test.

• Ask what changes your child would make if he or she were to retake the test.

• Explain that performance on a test is not a condition for you to love your child, that you love your child just for the person he or she is.

Take care, and have a great weekend!

Familias de Hazelbrook,

Después de una semana de preparación para el examen estatal, los estudiantes comenzarán los exámenes el lunes. Para obtener más información sobre el Sistema de Evaluación del Estado de Oregón (OSAS),consulte la información en la página de pruebas de TTSD. Los puntajes de los estudiantes se utilizan junto con los datos de I-Ready, las calificaciones académicas y los aportes de los maestros para determinar la ubicación en matemáticas, así como el apoyo adicional que pueda ser necesario para su hijo.

Salud Vanderbilt tiene algunos consejos para que las familias ayuden a sus hijos a prepararse para los exámenes estandarizados. Incluyen:

• La noche anterior:

• Anime a los adolescentes a acostarse lo suficientemente temprano para permitirles dormir toda la noche.

• Ayude a los niños a resolver discusiones inmediatas antes de acostarse.

• Mantenga las rutinas lo más normales posible.

• Mencione la prueba para demostrar que está interesado, pero no se detenga en ello.

• Planifique con anticipación para evitar conflictos la mañana del examen. ¿Qué tareas pueden hacer usted o su hijo la noche anterior?

• La mañana de:

• Levántese temprano para evitar las prisas. Asegúrese de que sus hijos lleguen a la escuela a tiempo.

• Haga que su hijo coma un buen desayuno pero no uno pesado. Un equilibrio de carbohidratos complejos, proteína y grasas saludables es ideal.

• Haga que su hijo se vista con algo cómodo.

• Sea positivo acerca de la prueba. Reconozca que las pruebas pueden ser difíciles y que están diseñadas para que nadie sepa todas las respuestas. Explíquele que lo que cuenta es hacer lo mejor que pueda. Lo importante es que su hijo se sienta cómodo y confiado con la prueba.

• Después de la prueba:

• Hable con su hijo sobre la experiencia y asegúrese de reconocer el esfuerzo que requiere dicha tarea.

• Discuta qué fue fácil y qué fue difícil; Analice lo que su hijo aprendió en el examen.

• Pregunte qué cambios haría su hijo si volviera a realizar la prueba.

• Explíquele que el desempeño en un examen no es una condición para que usted ame a su hijo, que lo ama sólo por la persona que es.

¡Cuídense y que tengan un buen fin de semana!

Tualatin Together, in partnership with TTSD, encourages you to have conversations with your student about fentanyl. Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that is circulating in Washington County. A tiny amount of fentanyl — the size of two grains of salt — can be fatal.

Fentanyl is often disguised as “look alike” pills. Some teens buy or get pills from classmates and friends, or via social media connections. They might think these pills are drugs like Adderall, Percocet, Oxycodone, or Xanax. What they may get are fake pills containing fentanyl. Fentanyl can also be contained in street drugs such as methamphetamines, ecstasy and heroin.

Let your student know that any pill they don’t get from a pharmacy may contain fentanyl, which can be fatal. Even if the pill comes from a friend or classmate, it could have fentanyl in it.

The New Drug Talk offers helpful resources for starting the conversation. For more information about Fentanyl, go to songforcharlie.org.

If you are worried about your student or looking for resources, a good place to start is your student's school counselor.

You can find more resources on the TTSD website. The Tigard High School-Based Health Center (503-431-5775) is able to provide Alcohol and Drug Assessments for all TTSD students. Lastly, the Washington County Crisis & Consultation Line is available 24 hours a day at 503-291-9111.

Tualatin Together, en asociación con TTSD, lo alienta a conversar con su estudiante sobre el fentanilo. El fentanilo es una droga peligrosa que circula en el condado de Washington. Una pequeña cantidad de fentanilo (del tamaño de dos granos de sal) puede ser mortal.

El fentanilo a menudo se disfraza de pastillas que se parecen. Algunos adolescentes compran u obtienen pastillas de compañeros de clase y amigos, o a través de conexiones en las redes sociales. Podrían pensar que estas pastillas son medicamentos como Adderall, Percocet, Oxycodone o Xanax. Lo que pueden recibir son pastillas falsas que contienen fentanilo. El fentanilo también puede estar contenido en drogas ilícitas como las metanfetaminas, el éxtasis y la heroína.

Informe a su estudiante que cualquier pastilla que no obtenga en la farmacia puede contener fentanilo, que puede ser fatal. Incluso si la pastilla proviene de un amigo o compañero de clase, podría contener fentanilo.

New Drug Talk ofrece recursos útiles para iniciar la conversación. Para obtener más información sobre el fentanilo, visite songforcharlie.org.

Si está preocupado por su estudiante o busca recursos, un buen lugar para comenzar es el consejero escolar de su estudiante.

Puede encontrar más recursos en el sitio web de TTSD. El Centro de Salud de la Escuela Secundaria Tigard (503-431-5775) puede proporcionar evaluaciones de alcohol y drogas para todos los estudiantes de TTSD. Por último, la Línea de Consulta y Crisis del Condado de Washington está disponible las 24 horas del día al 503-291-9111."
