Please note that this test is only one tool used to measure your child's academic progress. While we encourage every student to do their best, we also take into consideration classroom performance and mastery of the curriculum when measuring academic achievement. A few tips to remember for the testing week:
Students should sleep well and eat a healthy breakfast.
Arrive at school on time. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00.
Students will need sharpened number 2 pencils.
