STATE TEST TIP OF THE DAY 7. Keep testing in perspective No single test is that important. Avoid putting too much emphasis on your child’s test scores—doing so can make your child feel pressure that will ultimately only affect his or her performance negatively. It’s also important to not be upset by a single test score. Low test scores can occur for any number of reasons; it may have just been an off day for your child.

Our 2nd graders had an egg-cellent math review yesterday. The also were able to decorate cookies for their pen pal "Grandma" Karen.

Check out Mrs. Ingram’s students creating shapes and learning how to find perimeter and area. Great job scholars!

STATE TEST TAKING TIP OF THE DAY 6. Give your child a study space A comfortable, dedicated space for homework and studying can work wonders for your child’s productivity. Make sure that your child’s space is quiet, well lit, and stocked with the right materials, like a writing surface, pens, pencils, highlighters, scratch paper, a calculator, and any other tools that he or she might need.

The fire alarms were activated moments ago. A faulty sprinkler was the cause. All students were evacuated and are now safely back in the building.

The book mobile is coming to location near you! Beginning June 6, the book mobile will be making the rounds on Mondays during the summer. Reading over the summer encourages life‑long reading habits. Learning doesn't stop once school ends, so it's important to ensure that children continue to read beyond their school years. This can help improve their professional development as they read further to upskill in their career, in addition to increasing their capacity for empathy and building their long-term vocabulary. #BetterTogether #LifeLongReaders

STATE TEST TAKING TIP OF THE DAY 5. Support healthy habits Sleep and nutrition can have a huge impact on your child’s ability to focus and retain information. One of the most helpful things that you can do as a parent is focus on supporting these basic needs. Well-rounded meals and a regular sleep schedule will help your child succeed in the classroom on a day-to-day basis. On testing days, it’s especially important to make sure that your child gets a good night’s sleep, starts the day with a filling breakfast, and goes to school with a water bottle to help stay hydrated.

STATE TESTING TIP OF THE DAY 4. Offer positive reinforcement A little encouragement can go a long way in helping students walk into testing days feeling confident—which, in turn, can have a huge effect on their performance. Praise your child for the work that he or she does to prepare for testing, and share in his or her excitement when he or she has success with a new concept or skill. Similarly, when he or she is struggling with a topic, point out the progress that he or she has made and encourage him or her to continue working. Having already experienced success with the material that he or she will be tested on will help your child avoid test anxiety and perform to the best of his or her ability on testing day. #BETTERTOGETHER

STATE TESTING TIP OF THE DAY 3. Talk to your child about test taking The purpose and goals of testing are not always obvious, even to the students who take them. Especially with new test-takers, it’s easy to be intimidated by testing or simply not feel motivated to put forth a lot of effort. Have open, ongoing conversations with your child to explain the benefits of testing, focusing on how it helps them, their teacher, their school, and other educators understand their strengths and weaknesses and figure out the most effective ways to teach. You can also use this opportunity to ask your students how they feel about testing, and offer reassurance or perspective if they have any anxiety around exams.
