Today was an excellent start to our state testing window! Just a few reminders:
Attendance is super important so that we don't have to pull students out of instruction to do make-up tests.
5th and 8th graders will test through next Thursday, but 6th and 7th graders will be done next Monday.
Don't forget to charge those Chromebooks!
Attention 5th-8th grade:
State testing starts tomorrow. We are asking for a few things in order to make this a successful experience for our students and staff. Thank you, in advance, for all of your support!
Students' attention and brain power benefit from a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast.
Students also need to listen to portions of the test. We have some headphones, but students tend to prefer to use their own.
Thank you so much for your partnership in your child's education!
