The state standards have been taught for your child's grade level content.  Motivation and effort will help them demonstrate everything they have learned.  Please discuss the importance for giving 100% effort on the KSA.

Best effort includes:

• Reading directions and every part of the question

• Rereading passages to find the answer

• Answering ALL parts of the question

• Pacing so they do not finish too quickly or too slowly

• Staying positive, quiet, and focusing on their own work

Students need to be well rested and awake for their 8 am KSA assessments.

Encourage your child to eat a well balanced dinner and breakfast each day.  Drinking water throughout the day and evening will help hydrate your child. Your child's brain will be ready!
