Just a reminder: This week into next (May 5th-11th) our 3rd, 4th & 5th grade students are taking the state test.
Here are a few things you can do at home, to make a BIG difference at school:
1. Make sure your student gets plenty of sleep! 8+ hours would be ideal!
2. Be here everyday and on time, so that your student is not behind or rushing to get started!
3. Encourage your student to eat breakfast. Testing on an empty stomach is difficult and our school breakfast is free!
4. Encourage your student to try their best! That is all that we ask: Best effort!
