Just a few reminders:
-
Please try to have students here and on time on testing days so they do not need to be pulled out of class instruction for make-up sessions.
-
Please avoid coming to sign students out early during testing sessions. Once a student leaves, they are not able to restart that test session.
-
Personal electronic devices (cell phones, ipads, smart watches, etc.) are not permitted in the testing areas.
-
Headphones may be needed for grades 7 and 8. Please allow your child to bring their plug-in headphones (Bluetooth headphones are not permitted).
-
Routine is important when calming any nerves when it comes to testing. Keeping to normal routines both at home and at school will help students to do their best.
-
Students need plenty of sleep in order to maintain the stamina needed to do their best.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher or Ms. Porter (Testing Coordinator).
