No homework will be given this week! Here is a copy of the email that was sent home:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We wanted to send a quick email reminder about achievement testing next week. Several of the students have mentioned that they are nervous about it, which is completely normal. We try to focus and remind them to do their best. We will be testing Monday through Thursday. It is helpful when the students get here on time, so they have a few minutes to relax and use the restroom right at 8, before we begin testing at 8:10. We will continue testing until about 2:15 each day with several breaks. Also, encourage your child to eat a decent breakfast and to bring a snack so they are fueled during the test.
It is important to remember the following points to ensure that your child is functioning at full capacity:
Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep.
Wake up at a good time so as not to be rushed.
Eat a healthy breakfast.
Arrive on time to school.
Stay home if you feel sick (make-ups will take place the following week).
Encourage your student(s) to do their best, but don't stress.
Pray with your child(ren) in confidence, and remind him/her that testing is just one part of their total education
Monday, October 2nd- Thursday, October 5th students are allowed to wear Spirit Wear with uniform bottoms. Friday, October 6th will be a dress down day for all in celebration of completing testing week!
Please avoid scheduling appointments during testing week.
Thank you for your help!
