Terra Nova Testing: October 6 – October 9

Next week your child will take the Terra Nova Tests. These tests will begin on Monday, October 6^th and end on Thursday, October 10^th. These standardized tests will be a new experience for the children. Below you will find a list of suggestions and accommodations for your child to help make this testing process as best as it can be.

·        Your child may bring in a healthy treat and a small bottle of water. Suggestions for a healthy treat include fruits, vegetables, or granola bar. Please no candy.  Remember this is only a snack, not a full meal.

·        There will not be a reading, grammar, or spelling unit this week. Therefore no weekly tests to prepare for.

·        The only homework for the week will be to get plenty of rest!

·        A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast will ensure a successful testing experience for your child.

·        The testing will begin promptly at 8:10a.m. Please make sure your child arrives to school on time.

·        The entire school will follow “Quiet Hours” for most of the morning. 

If you have any questions or concerns about the Terra Nova Tests, please feel free to contact one of us. This will be a new experience but we are confident that the kids will do just fine. We will take a practice test and will review the testing procedures at length.  Thank you in advance for your support at home!
