Your children have probably told you that they are really excited (or stressed) about the PARCC testing that begins next week. We’re excited too and we want you to know that the teachers and other building staff have worked like crazy to help your child do well on the tests.
In order to help your child to do her/his best, please make sure that your child gets plenty of rest and eats good meals (all the time, not just for the tests). Keep reminding her/him that s/he has taken these tests before and that the only difference in these tests is that they are online. Our kids are not worried about using the computer.
If you follow this advice, we are certain that it will help your child to do well. Good luck to you and your child.
