IOWA TESTING NEXT WEEK



First and Second graders will be taking IOWA tests next week. These tests help teachers monitor student progress and offer guidance for placement the following year. They in no way affect a student's report card or grades. Please encourage your students to do their best on these tests, without causing any undo stress.

Some things you can do to help your students during testing:

1) Make sure they receive a full nights sleep the nights before testing
2) Make sure they eat breakfast in the morning and bring a healthy snack for during the day
3) Advise your students to try their best and ask their teacher when they don't
understand the directions

Thank you for your cooperation in making the test process as stress-free for your students as possible!
