IAR testing for grades 3-8 will begin tomorrow, Wednesday April 7. You can help your child do his or her best on these assessments by: 1) Making sure that your child attends school on the days of testing; 2) Making sure your child gets a good night’s sleep the night before testing; 3) Making sure your child has breakfast on the mornings of testing; 4) Reminding your child to ask the teacher questions if directions are not clear; 5) Letting your child know that you have confidence in his/her ability to do his/her best work; and 6) Advising your child not to worry excessively about the test--just do the best work he/she can. I hope that you will encourage your child to do his/her best on the upcoming assessments.
