April 6, 2011
Dear Families,
During the next few weeks students will be taking the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments known as the MCAs. You will receive your child’s score (usually before school starts next fall), which compares him or her to other children in the same grade level throughout the state of Minnesota.
We will be testing in our Reading and Math groups.
Reading Tests: Tuesday, April 12th & Wednesday, April 13th
Math Tests: Eaton: Wednesday, May 4th and Thursday, May 5th
Schaefer: Monday, May 2nd and Wednesday, May 4th
Sorlie: Monday, May 2nd and Thursday, May 5th
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVERY STUDENT
IS HERE ON THE DAY OF THE TEST!
Brain research shows that in order for a student’s brain to operate at it optimum, it needs plenty of rest and good nutrition.
Looking for some ways to help your child be prepared?
· Encourage your child to work hard everyday.
· Start the day off right the morning of each test:
1. Get a good night’s sleep
2. Eat a nutritious breakfast
3. Keep a positive attitude
· Help your child to arrive at school on time.
· Ask your child how the test went after each testing date.
