Parents- 

We will begin our Achievement Tests next week.  This year 5^th and 6^th grade will test online.  The students have already begun to prepare for the online version by completing demonstrations of the tests in class.  This familiarizes them with the details (how to answer the questions, how to go back to check answers, etc.) of the testing process.  Please encourage your children to eat a healthy breakfast and get plenty of sleep next week! 

Thanks,

Allison Moffett
