What can parents do to help?

While state testing is never our primary focus here at OES, we still strive to give our students their best chance possible. Parents can help with this by ensuring students are at school on the dates listed above, have had a good night sleep, and a healthy breakfast (A breakfast snack will be provided to all students taking a test each day of testing). At school we focus on encouraging students to do their best and show us what they know, reiterating that at home might help students feel less stress regarding taking these tests.

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns! Thank you for your assistance in giving our students their best education possible!

Please take a look at our district's Quality Profile that highlights many of the great things that happened over the past year! We are proud to showcase all of the wonderful things our district has to offer!

For the foreseeable future if you have any questions or concerns for our counselor, please do so through this email, jhcounselor@otsegoknights.org,
