Spring is here, and so are state assessments! Don't fret, we've prepared resources to help parents and students conquer these tests and manage test anxiety. We've also included important online safety information. For any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child's school.💐💐

Sincerely,

Your WPCSD IT Department

1. Make sure your child gets an ample, normal amount of sleep the night before the test.
2. Mark testing days on your calendar to help remind you and your child when the testing will take place and plan your preparations.
3. The student should eat a nutritious and filling breakfast. Try to avoid high sugar cereals which can make the student hyper and/or unfocused.
4. Work with teachers and administrators at your child’s school to find materials to work on at home in preparation for the test.
   
5. Make sure the student is on time (if not early) on the day of testing.
6. Set a backup alarm to avoid the possibility of oversleeping.
7. If your child is sick, please contact the school immediately to inform them.

Students:

1. Arrive early and take a moment to relax.
2. Listen attentively to last-minute instructions given by the instructor.
3. Read the test directions very carefully and watch for details.
4. Be aware of the test time limits. Keep track of how much time you have remaining, and try not to spend too much time on items that you are unsure of, as you can always come back to them once you have completed the items you do know.
5. Answer the easy questions first and then move on to more difficult items.
   
6. Answer all questions, even if do not know the answer.
7. Plan to finish early and have time for review.
