The Ford Falcon Weekly Newsletter: April 12, 2024
Greetings Parents and Guardians,
As we prepare for state testing, it is important to recognize that this can indeed be a source of added stress for students. Tests can naturally be stressful, but the added focus and attention that comes with state testing can create an even greater sense of pressure. As a school, we want to do our best to help support our students who might be experiencing some test anxiety by giving some suggestions to our families on things they can do at home that can help.When students know the testing schedule, how to prepare, and what to bring on test days, it can alleviate some stress. Be sure your child has fully charged their school issued laptop the night before testing and gets a good night’s sleep. The day of testing, they will need to bring their laptop, charger, and student ID. Please see pages 5 through 12 of our April 5th newsletter for specific dates and times, reminders, what to bring and what is prohibited, as well as room assignments for students.
Perhaps the most important reminder for your student is that once that test starts, just “try their best and forget the rest!” It can be helpful to remind them that the primary function of state tests is to give feedback to their teachers and school. State tests help us determine what areas we can continue to improve in our instruction, as well as help us identify the learning needs of individual students.
Thank you for your continued support in those endeavors.
Warm Regards,
Lori Singleton
