Here are some tips to help make testing days go smoothly:
- Make sure your student(s) starts the day with a good breakfast, whether at home or in school;
- Remind your student(s) to charge their Chromebook overnight and bring the charger to school;
- Send your student with a book to read, a water bottle, and a snack;
- Remind your student(s) to dress appropriately -- some rooms feel chilly after sitting for four hours;
- Tell them: Relax! Take your time! You're going to do great today!
