Test tips for the week ~ Control what you can control to do your best to show what you know!!!

1. Get a Full Night's Sleep (at least 8 hours)

• Start adjusting your sleep schedule a few days before test day.

• Avoid screens before bed—read or listen to music to wind down.

2. Eat a Healthy Breakfast

• (eggs, yogurt, peanut butter, whole grains, fruit), and water.

• Avoid heavy, sugary, or greasy foods—they can make you feel sluggish or uncomfortable.

3. Stay Hydrated

• Drink water the day before and the morning of the test.

• Bring a water bottle

4. Stay Calm and Focused

• Take deep breaths before starting.
• Don’t panic if you don’t know a question—skip it and come back.
• Use relaxation techniques (like 4–7–8 breathing) if you start feeling anxious.

5. Use Smart Test-Taking Strategies

• Read directions carefully.
• Pace yourself—don't spend too long on one question.
• Eliminate obviously wrong answers.
• Double-check answers if you have time at the end.

YOU WILL ROCK IT ~ DON'T FORGET OUR OUTSTANDING INCENTIVES!

I often get asked what students/families should get for staff on staff appreciation week. Here are a few ideas if you are looking for one:

Handwritten Thank-You Notes

• Short, sincere notes from students can mean everything.

• Mention specific things the teacher has done that made a difference.

Snacks or Treat Bags

• Drop off small snack bags with notes like “Thanks for feeding our minds!”
  

Flowers or Plants

• A small potted plant or bouquet with a tag like “What we Focus on Grows!” is a kind gesture.

Gift Cards

• Even $5–10 to places like Little Ireland, Target, or local shops can go a long way.

Senior students will have monthly class meetings from now until graduation in preparation of the big day!

Power lunch, first and foremost, is an academic time of day. You don't need to be failing a course to receive assistance!
