📌 Other Things to Note:
How Families Can Help During Assessment Time:
Stay positive. Remind your child that effort is what matters. These tests are just one way to show what they’ve learned.
Stick to routines. A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast go a long way on test days.
Be mindful of scheduling. Avoid planning appointments or time off during testing windows when possible.
