Testing Week!

Hello families! The students are taking their Stanford 10 test this week, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday! The students have prepared for this test the whole school year, and I know they are ready for it. To prepare for the next three days, please remember the following:

1. Schedule all doctor's appointments after testing has been completed. Once a test has been started, the students cannot go back to that test they missed. This is a state mandate, not by the school or the district.
2. If you think your student is sick, keep them home. This is obviously not something we teachers like to mention, but again- if a student starts on a test, and then ends up leaving during the day- they cannot continue that test.
3. Make sure your student gets plenty of sleep the night before each testing day. A tired mind cannot function while trying to pay attention to something as important as this test.
4. The same goes for a full tummy. Please make sure your student has a healthy and full breakfast the morning of the test. I'll have the chance to give the students a snack prior to starting, but the morning should get off to a good start by having a great breakfast.

I'll be giving homework this week, just not the full amount.  Students will receive a reading log and lined paper to practice their spelling words for Friday's test.



Thank you for all you do!
