✨ Spring Testing is here! ✨
Over the next 2 months each grade level will have different state and district assessments that they will complete. These assessments are a great tool to show students' progress from the school year. For some testing can be easy and for others it can be stressful or boring. Here is how you can help at home:
- Make sure your student is getting enough sleep
-Eat a healthy breakfast or have them come to school for breakfast
-Be on time to school
-Ask your student about their day and be encouraging if testing was hard
We are so proud of all of our students here at Anne Sullivan and know they will work hard and do their best!
