Testing This Week
Our 3rd-5th graders will be taking state exams this week.  See the schedule above.  Here are a few things to remember:

• Get a good night's sleep and have a hearty breakfast.
• Don't try to cram, these tests are meant to see what your child has learned throughout the year.  Last minute, late night study sessions may increase worry.
• Tests will begin immediately after announcements.  Students may not enter the classroom after testing has begun.  Please plan accordingly to avoid begin tardy.
• If you notice anxiety, let your child's teacher know so that he or she may help relieve the worry.
