With TCAP right around the corner, we are asking that you make sure to monitor your student in order for them to get a good night’s rest prior to the test.  A good protein breakfast will assist your student in staying awake and faring better on this statewide test.  Skip on the sweet items for breakfast and opt for protein instead.

Make sure you have sharpened #2 pencils ONLY.

Put your thinking hats on!

Make sure your feet/ankles are not crossed during testing.

Concentrate!

Bonne Chance!…Good Luck!…Break a Leg!

TCAP SUCCESS …We’re gonna do our best!

Parents,

It is my preference that we communicate via email.  This is the easiest way to get in touch with me and it is the easiest way to get feedback because I will be able to respond within an hour or so.  This is opposed to calling the school and leaving a message with the front office.  I may not get the message until the next day.

Thank you.

Write as much as you possibly can so that you can become more and more familiar with writing. Read as much as you possibly can so that you can become more and more familiar with how to communicate effectively.

READING and WRITING go hand-in-hand. Reading promotes writing and writing promotes reading. Do them both and see how differently your grades may look.
