Principal Message

Dear Parents/Guardians,

 

With just over 8 weeks left in the school year, our staff and students are certainly busy focusing on finishing the curriculum and ensuring that each student achieves their personal best.  Our teachers appreciate continued parent support with the completion of nightly home reading and ensuring homework is done.

 

The months of May and June are important months in having students demonstrate their cumulative learning for the past school year.  Our grade 3 students will be writing the Provincial Achievement Tests in Language Arts and Mathematics, while our grade 6 students will be writing the Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies exams.  You can help prepare your child for these important tests in the following ways:

 

HELP PREPARE YOUR CHILD FOR TESTS

A test is a valuable educational tool. When a test is to be given, you can help by making sure your child does the following:

·         Get plenty of sleep the night before the test.

·         Eat a good breakfast the morning of the test.

·         Arrive at school on time the day of the test.

·         He/She knows that YOU think they will do well on the test.

 

AFTER THE TESTS

·         Reward your child for trying hard on the test.

·         Talk to your child about what was learned from the tests.  What would he/she do differently if the tests could be taken over.

·         Talk with your child about what can be done between now and the next time a test is given, such as trying harder on homework, or being a more active participant in class.

 

Effective family involvement makes a positive difference in the educational success of children.  For children to do well in testing situations they need support from home and school.  Please check your child’s agenda book every day to learn when your child will be writing a test at school and support them to do their best.
