MESSAGE FROM ST. ANDREWS MIDDLE SCHOOL:


Dear Parents,  

* Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep every night,
beginning NEXT SATURDAY, May 7th. The effects of not receiving enough
sleep usually show up in 2 days, so your child will be affected if
he/she doesn’t get enough rest over the weekend.

* Get rid of stress and arguing at your home on test days, especially
on test mornings.

* Feed your child protein for breakfast (meats and cheese are best),
rather than sugary treats that don’t last very long in hungry
stomaches.

* Research shows that, for the most part, children do best when they
test with their own classes on test days; so, unless a serious illness
or emergency arises, please be sure your child is here, on time, each
test day.

*Remind your child to take his/her time on the test and work carefully,
checking over each answer, to be sure it’s complete and makes sense. 

Remember: PASS is NOT a timed test; hurrying could cause your child to
make a careless mistake and lower his/her score on the test.

* Review good test-taking strategies with your child.  

* More than anything, stay positive and celebrate your children’s
learning and growth this year! Remind them to “show what (they)
know!”
