LEAP TESTING
Before you know it, that time of year will be here for system wide testing. LEAP testing for the 2006-07 school year will be held during the week of March 19 - 23, 2007. It is very important for your child to attend school during this week. Here are some tips that might make the week go a little smoother:
- Don't stress out about the test in front of your child. Children pick up on your anxiety and they will be just as anxious.
- Try to get them in bed a little earlier. Make sure they get a good night's sleep.
- Feed them a healthy breakfast in the morning. Stay away from things that are too sweet like donuts and sweet rolls.
- In the event your child will receive testing accommodations, prepare them. Let them know that they might be in a different classroom, with a different teacher. Let them know what to expect.
- Ask your child daily about the test. If your child appears to be concerned or worried, talk to the teacher as soon as possible. It is a lot easier to resolve a possible problem during testing, than to wait till testing is over.
