A Message for Principal Stacie Mitchell-Gweah regarding testing and tips
Dear Parents,
We hope this message finds you well. As we approach the end of the academic year, we want to inform you about the upcoming ATLAS testing schedule and share some valuable tips on how to prepare your child for state testing.
ATLAS (Assessment Tools for Learning and Academic Success) testing is an essential component of our educational program, providing valuable insights into your child’s academic progress and areas of strength and improvement. These assessments help us tailor our teaching strategies to meet the individual needs of each student, ensuring their continued growth and success.
Below is the schedule for the ATLAS testing sessions:
To help your child perform their best during these assessments and state testing, here are some preparation tips:
- Practice Time: Allocate dedicated study time using online resources like I Know It Math, My Lexia, Cool Math, or the ATLAS Practice test. These platforms offer engaging activities aligned with the curriculum to reinforce key concepts.
- Rest and Nutrition: Prioritize your child’s well-being by ensuring they get enough rest and consume nutritious meals. A well-rested and nourished mind performs better during testing.
- Review Test-Taking Strategies: Familiarize your child with various test-taking techniques such as time management, process of elimination, and staying calm under pressure. Practice these strategies together to boost their confidence.
- Stay Positive: Encourage a positive mindset by emphasizing the importance of effort and progress rather than focusing solely on outcomes. Remind them that mistakes are part of learning and growth.
- Stay Connected: Maintain open communication with your child’s classroom teacher. They can provide additional support, resources, and guidance tailored to your child’s needs.
By implementing these strategies, you’ll help your child approach state testing with confidence and readiness. Thank you for your continued support in your child’s education.
