STAR Testing
Star testing will begin next Monday, April 28th. Students in grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 will be testing for the next three weeks. It is important that you help your child be prepared for these important State exams. You can help your child by making sure they get a good night’s sleep, eat a good breakfast and get some exercise in the afternoon. Testing starts first thing every morning so it is important that the children get to school on time. Tardy students will not be allowed to go to their class rooms until the testing is over and will have to make up the test that they missed. Thank you for your cooperation, together we can make this testing period a positive and successful experience.
