🏠 How Parents Can Help at Home Before MAP Testing 🏠 How Parents Can Help at Home Before MAP Testing

1. Encourage a good night’s sleep.
Well-rested brains think better!

2. Provide a healthy breakfast.
Foods like eggs, fruit, or whole grains give energy and focus.

3. Create a calm, quiet space for practice.
If your child wants to do a little review at home, make it distraction-free.

4. Practice reading and math in short, fun bursts.
Read a story together or solve a few math problems — no pressure, just practice.

5. Review strategies, not answers.
Ask them: How would you figure this out? instead of giving the answer.

6. Encourage breaks and movement.
Short stretches or a quick walk can help kids refocus.

7. Keep a positive mindset.
Say things like: “Just do your best!” or “I’m proud of you for trying.”

8. Limit screen time the night before.
Helps the brain rest and be ready for learning.

9. Reassure them the test isn’t a grade.
It shows what they know and what they’re ready to learn next.

10. Celebrate effort, not just results.
Even small steps are a win!

Transportation Transportation

Change of Transportation

If there is a change in transportation arrangements, we require notice from the parent before allowing students to be transported by anyone other than a parent. You may send in a note with your child or email mailto:parkstreet@marietta-city.org with the details of the change. We do not allow students to walk or to ride home with unauthorized people.


At dismissal time bus riders will be put on the school bus unless a parent is present for pick-up, or the parent has notified the school office of another arrangement.


Students are not permitted to change buses to ride home with friends without a note from their parent. Please make arrangements for your child before he/she comes to school. If you must make a change during the day, notify the school office staff before 2:45 p.m.


Pick-up by Car in the Afternoon

Anyone picking up a child must have his/her Panther Car Tag. If you do not have a Panther Car Tag, you may get one at Sneak-A-Peek or by coming to the front office.


Please do not park across the street and have your child designated as a “walker”.

This is extremely dangerous, and teachers on duty will stop children crossing the street

unescorted by a parent or adult. If you need to come into the building, please park in a parking space.


Tardy Drop-Off

When a student arrives late (after 8:30), an adult must sign the student in at the office.


Early Pick-Up

Please limit early pick-up of children to emergencies and appointments. If a child is out for any portion of the school day, the missed time is recorded as a tardy. A note sent in the morning will help us to have your child ready. To avoid interruptions to instruction, no student

will be released between 2:45 and 3:15. Parents will be asked to wait for the dismissal bell. Come to the office to check out a student. Please be prepared to present photo identification upon request. No student will be released to an unknown or unauthorized person.


Late Pick-Up

Students waiting to be picked up will be supervised until 3:30. After 3:30 they may be sent to the After School Program if they are pre-registered. Regular after school charges will apply. Many parents sign up for the program so their children can attend in case of emergency.

All students are expected to be in uniform. Fridays "Spirit Days" are the only days students should be out of uniform, on these days, students are still expected to wear Marietta/Park Street gear and be weather and school appropriate. *Reminder that all students should be wearing tennis shoes every day.*
