March 10th to March 14th
ISAT testing will this week. Here is some advice from Principal Schultz.
Parents can play an important role in getting students ready for these tests. Here are suggestions on how parents can help their children prepare for the ISATs:
1. Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep before the tests
2. Make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast the days of the test
3. Let your child know that he or she should take the test seriously and do his or her best
4. Talk to your child about what to do while taking the test, including:
a. Paying attention to directions
b. Asking questions about directions if they are unclear
c. Reading each question carefully
d. Eliminating wrong answers right away, concentrating on remaining choices
e. Double checking answers
The testing dates :
Tues. 3/11, Wed. 3/12, Thurs. 3/13.
In honor of the students' hard work and focus during the ISAT testing, we are going to treat them to an ISAT celebration on Fri. 3/14. We will be showing the movie Despicable Me 2. This movie is rated PG. If you have any questions, please contact me.
