SOL Prep Letter

MAY 2013

 Dear Parents:

 Well, as you know, IT’S TESTING TIME!!!!!  In order to make our testing as comfortable and stress-free as possible, I’m asking that all students bring their lunch to school on Wednesday, May 22 (Reading SOL), Thursday, May 23 (Science SOL), and Wednesday, May 29 (Math SOL).  This will allow us to eat together in a relaxed atmosphere away from outside noise and distractions.  Students may also bring an extra snack.  Because I encourage healthy eating, please don’t bring sugary, high-calorie snacks like cookies, cake and candy.  Instead try fresh veggies, fruit snacks, string cheese or pretzels.

 In addition, please be sure your child brings a book to read quietly at their desk after they have completed their test.  They will also need at LEAST 2 number 2 sharpened pencils, and a highlighter.

 
Please make sure your child goes to bed early for the next few nights, and eats a good breakfast, with a balance of protein and carbohydrates.  I’m absolutely certain that our students will perform exceptionally well on the test, and I thank you for your support thus far throughout the school year.

 Sincerely,

 Ms. Smart
