At the beginning of March, the students in third grade will be taking the ISAT test. ISAT, stands for the Illinois Standards Achievement Test. The tests measure student progress in meeting the Illinois Learning Standards. The test results identify areas of strength and weakness for students and schools. The information helps educators and parents assist students to meet the State Standards. Individual student reports of their test performance will be sent home for each child at a later date.
Please help your child prepare for taking these tests by
~having your child go to bed early
~making sure they are rested with a good night sleep
~solve any problems with family or friends before testing
~talk to your child about concerns they have about the test
~eating a healthy breakfast

~remind your child to try their best
~new #2 pencils
~sugarless gum is an individual option and will be permitted at the beginning of the test, in our classroom if this would be beneficial for a child...for some this may improve attention and focus
