It's that time of year again... state testing! 3rd through 8th grade students, it's your time to SHINE!!! Our teachers are ready, our students are ready. Let's do this! State testing begins on TUESDAY, APRIL 14th. Our 3rd and 4th graders will test in the mornings of the 14th - 16th. Grades 5th - 8th will begin on the 20th. Testing can be stressful so to help them do their best, please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep every night. This means at least 9 -10 hours per night with NO electronics at least 2 hours before bedtime. Students need to be ON TIME or EARLY to school on test days. Being late to school creates additional stress and may mean they will have to do make-up testing. We want to make sure their test days are stress free - so help your child by making sure they have good sleep, arrive early, eat breakfast (at home or at school) and have your support at home. To find out what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends for hours of sleep for your child, please visit this link. https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about/index.html As always, thank you for being an important part of your child’s academic success!
