Testing Tips: Arrive at school on time each day; prior to 7:50 a.m. Try to avoid appointments during the week of testing so that your child can complete his/her testing sessions. Try to make sure that your child is present each day of testing to avoid having to do make-up testing. Try to avoid screen time the week of testing prior to bedtime. Make bedtime early so that your child can get a good night's rest. Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep each night. If your child eats breakfast at school, have him/her there early to ensure getting to class on time. Encourage your child to do his/her best each day because testing is very important.
