While the District will continue to work with students in preparing them for these tests, parents are also encouraged to consider using the following test taking tips with their child provided by the www.testtakingtips.com website:
1. Mark down test days on your calendar so you and your child are both aware of testing dates.
2. As a parent, keep a positive attitude about tests. Also, talking with your child about the test can help relieve stress about test taking.
3. Encourage your child to stay relaxed when taking the tests.
4. Make sure that your child gets enough sleep the night before the test.
5. Ensure that your child eats a healthy breakfast and avoid heavy foods that may make him/her groggy and avoid high sugar foods that may make him/her hyper.
6. On the day of the test, make sure that your child gets up early enough so that he/she will be on time to school.
7. Praise/reward your child for their hard work in preparing for these tests.
For more information about the upcoming test schedule, parents should visit with their child’s teacher or campus principal.
