Parents play a key role in helping students succeed on schoolwide testing. A few simple steps can make a big difference. You can support your child by ensuring they get plenty of rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school ready to do their best. Encourage them to take their time and show what they know—this test is about growth, not perfection!
