PACT News!

The year is coming to a close and next week will be administering the PACT test. The students worked very hard this year and I am confident that everyone will do well. We spent the past two weeks reviewing what we learned this year and practicing for the PACT.

You can help at home by discussing the importance of the test. Remind your child to put forth his best effort. Encourage your child to take his time and to think about what was taught in class. Encourage him to try to eliminate wrong answers should he get "stuck" on a question. Most importantly, reassure your child that he will do well and as long as he does his best, you will be proud!

During the week of testing, please make sure your child is well rested. You may need to set an earlier bedtime. A good breakfast can also make a big difference. We will not assign any homework during testing.

Testing Dates-
May 13th - ELA test
May 14th - ELA test
May 15th - Math test
May 20th - Science or Social Studies test
