State testing for our 3rd–6th grade students begins next week! This is an important opportunity for our students to showcase all the incredible learning and growth they’ve achieved this year. We are so proud of their hard work and dedication!
To help your child feel confident and perform their very best, please keep these important reminders in mind:
✔ Be at school every day and ON TIME
Testing will begin promptly each morning. Arriving late can cause added stress and may require make-up sessions. Being on-time truly sets the tone for success!
✔ Eat a balanced breakfast
Fueling the brain is key! A healthy breakfast with protein, whole grains, and fruit helps improve focus, memory, and stamina.
✔ Pack smart snacks
Nutritious options like granola bars, fruit, cheese sticks, or crackers will help keep students energized and focused throughout testing.
✔ Get plenty of sleep
A well-rested brain makes a big difference in performance and confidence.
We believe in our students and know they are ready to shine! With your support at home and their continued effort at school, we are confident this will be a successful testing season.
Let’s cheer them on and help them feel confident, prepared, and proud of all they’ve accomplished!
