Parents,
Below is the spring assessment schedule for CMS. As you can see, I tried not to schedule testing on Mondays and Fridays in an effort to improve student attendance during these assessments. Here are a few things that parents can do to help their children do well on these tests:
- Optimize Brain Power by:
- Ensuring that children get a good night's sleep the night before the assessment
- Ensuring that children eat a healthy breakfast the morning of the assessment
- Ease Anxiety by:
- Helping children know what to expect - review assessment schedule with your child
- Ensuring that children are present and on time to school on the day of the assessment
- Encouraging children to relax, stay positive and to do their best
- Reviewing test strategies
