Here is some advice for our parents about testing!
The Night Before the Testing:
·Visualization: Have a conversation with your child about what the day will look like.
·Get a good night's sleep. Kids need a full 8 hours of sleep.

·Answer any fears or questions your child might have.
·Prepare your child’s snacks, pencils, clothes, etc. the night before.
·Remind your child to remain focused and not to talk or disrupt during the test.
