State Assessments are starting this week. It is important that students get a good nights sleep, eat a good breakfast at home or at school to get their brains energized and ready plus drink plenty of water. We will be doing a block schedule on Monday-Thursday to allow students plenty of time to read the ELA passages and questions and go back in the text to find the correct answer. Students who have ELA on odd hours will test on Monday and Wednesday and students who have ELA class during even hours will test on Tuesday and Thursday.

Please help us out by encouraging your child to do their very best on these tests and reminding them of the testing tips below.

Lots of students have lost or broken their headphones. Students need headphones for their state assessments to listen to the directions and for any read aloud accommodations some might receive. Please check with your student and make sure they have working headphones for Monday.

Thanks!
