On test day, make sure your child:
· Gets a good night’s sleep before the test and is well rested
· Eats a healthy breakfast
· Gets to testing location on time
· Is ready to go when called back for testing

· Do not bring any electronic devices that can be used for communication, timing, or imaging into the testing room, including smart watches. Cell phones will be turned off and collected before students begin the test.
We understand that testing can be a difficult time for all students. Virtual students’ schedules and routines are especially disrupted. Please talk with your student so that they are prepared. All of our teachers make every attempt to alleviate stress and anxiety from students.
