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.

Ms. Green's 5th grade classes took engagement to another level the last two weeks. The students have been studying the continent of Africa and to enhance their learning, they made 3D climate and vegetation maps of the continent. They used molding clay to sculpt the continent, then painted it based on the climate/vegetation for the area.
Some of the molds will be on display this Thursday at Hempstead Hall as part of the African American Extravaganza. The students are excited to have similar activities in the future.
