TERRA NOVA TESTING: MAY 4-7

The Terra Nova test will be administered to all students in 2nd through 8th grades, on Monday, May 4 through Thursday, May 7. Testing will occur each day between 9:30 - 11:30 AM. To help ensure successful testing:
Please make sure that the students arrive at school on time.

Please do not make appointments that will take them out of school before 11:30 am.
You can best prepare your children for this testing by insuring that they have a good breakfast each morning and that they are well rested.
Please indicate to your children that these tests will, in no way, affect their grade in any class nor determine promotion to the next grade. We do not want the children to be overly anxious about the testing.
