Test Preparation Tips 

To help your student succeed on testing days, we recommend the following: 

  1. Get plenty of rest: Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep before the test to help them stay focused and alert.
  2. Eat a healthy breakfast: A balanced meal can help your student feel energized and ready for the test. 
  3. Arrive on time: Be sure your child arrives at school with plenty of time to settle in and prepare mentally for the test. 
  4. Make sure their Chromebook is fully charged: Please ensure your child’s Chromebook is fully charged and ready to go each morning. 
  5. Stay calm: Encourage your student to remain calm, read each question carefully, and take their time to complete the test. 
  6. Review test materials: If possible, have your student review any study guides or practice tests provided by their teachers to help refresh their knowledge. 

We understand testing can be stressful, but with adequate preparation, we are confident that our students will do their best. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Thank you for your continued support in helping your student succeed.
