Hello McSwain Families!

It's that time of the year again – state testing for grades 3 through 8 is just around the corner. These assessments provide valuable insights into your child's progress and help shape their educational journey. Let's support our young learners by ensuring they're well-rested, nourished, and encouraged to do their best.

Here are some best practices for kids to remember:

1. Get a good night's sleep: Adequate rest helps improve concentration and cognitive function.

2. Eat a healthy breakfast: Fuel up with nutritious foods to keep energy levels stable throughout the day.

3. Stay positive: Maintain a positive attitude and believe in your abilities.

4. Read instructions carefully: Take your time to understand what is being asked before answering.

5. Manage your time: Pace yourself during the test to ensure you have enough time to complete each section.

6. Take breaks when needed: Listen to your body and take short breaks to relax and refocus.

7. Review your work: Before submitting your test, double-check your answers and make any necessary corrections.

State Testing will begin May 6th

Together, we can empower them to shine bright and showcase their knowledge. Good luck to all students!
