1. Testing starts promptly at 9:00 a.m, please make sure your child arrives by 8:40 a.m.

2. Students will perform better if they eat a healthy and protein rich breakfast including items such as peanut butter, eggs, etc.

3. Please be sure your child gets a good nights sleep. Sleep your child gets the weekend before testing (April 17th - April 19th) is just as critical as the sleep they get during testing (April 20th - April 24th).

4. Tell your child you expect them to do their very best on the test. Praise them by reassuring them that you believe they can and will score well.

5. Keep your home environment and family schedule as routine as possible without too many outside activities or distractions. Keeping a routine for bedtime, meals, etc. will help your student manage any stress created by the testing.

6. Please do not disrupt your child's testing schedule by having them dismissed during the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. during the Monday through Thursday testing schedule.
