Dear Families,

This is a friendly reminder that Smarter Balanced state testing begins next week. We want all students to feel confident, prepared, and ready to do their best. Please help us support a smooth and successful testing experience by noting our schedule:

Testing Schedule:
Monday: Math testing for all grades
Tuesday: Science testing for 5th grade
Wednesday: Make-up testing
Thursday: Math testing for all grades

To help students be prepared for the assessments, please support them by:

Ensuring they get a good night’s sleep each night
Arriving at school on time, especially on testing days
Eating a healthy breakfast before school
Encouraging a positive mindset and reminding them to simply do their best
Making every effort to have students at school each day of testing and avoid scheduling appointments during the school day if possible

Our students have been working hard all year and these assessments are an opportunity for them to show what they know. Thank you for your partnership in helping students feel ready and supported.

Please contact the school office if you have questions or know your child will be absent so we can plan for make-up testing.

The end of the year counselor classroom lessons include talking about being a leader and serving those in need. Students are being challenged to think about and notice how they can support and encourage others around them and in the community. Fifth-grade students have also begun practicing how to open combination locks to prepare for using lockers in middle school. Starting next week, students will complete the end of year needs assessment survey, which is the same as the one they did in September. The survey questions are identical as last time so we can compare data and progress throughout the year. Should you wish to review these questions again, please contact me by May 5.
