ITBS TESTING
3rd and 5th Grade students will have ITBS Testing Monday, October 21 - Friday, October 25. All students must arrive early to school and be in their classrooms before the bell rings at 8:50 a.m. Students arriving late will not be allowed to join their class and will have to make up the test.
During the testing period, you can help your student's performance on the tests by the following:
- stress the importance of being present each day and on time during the testing;
- any student arriving after 9:00 a.m. will not be allowed to join his / her class during the testing session;
- encourage the best performance possible;
- remind your student that being rested and in a positive frame of mind each testing day will help relieve test anxiety.
