Have a Great Summer!

Schools use standardized tests as a way to identify students' strengths and weaknesses. There are some things parents can do to help their children prepare.

· Talk to the teachers. Find out when the tests are scheduled and whether there are any weak areas where your child needs extra help.

· Set your own standards. Make sure your child knows it's important to take the test seriously, follow the rules, and do his or her best.

· Are you ready? Check to make sure your child has the correct kind of pencils, calculator, or other supplies needed for the test.

· Early to bed. A good night's sleep is very important the night before a big test. Most children need at least 10 hours of sleep to perform their best.

· Prepare a good breakfast. Test morning is not the time for a high-sugar snack -- or no breakfast at all. A nutritious and filling breakfast is a must.

· Keep things in focus. Standardized tests are just one of the ways that schools evaluate children's abilities. Don't believe, or let your child believe, that poor test results mark him or her as a failure.

· Avoid being tardy to school. It is especially important that your child arrives to school on time during testing week.
