Standardized Tests This Week!

We begin our Terra Nova standardized tests on Monday. It is important that your child not miss school if at all possible during testing time.

We conduct these tests for several reasons. Through these tests, we hope to see how your child and groups of children compare with other children in their grades in other WELS schools as well as other public and private schools across the nation. These tests can also help teachers and school leaders assess our curriculum.

There are several things you can do to ready your child:

• Help your child relax. These tests are not graded. There is no way to study for them.
• Make sure your child has a good night’s sleep.
• Make sure that your child eats a good breakfast each morning.

The rest is up to your child. I will encourage your child to do the best that s/he can with the gifts and abilities that God has given her/him. I'm including a tentative schedule for the week. Click on it for a larger view. If you have any questions, please email or call.
