AIMS

Happy Spring, so the calendar says-- but maybe it's fall/winter again?    Next week we will begin our AIMS testing for grades 3-5. This is a BIG WEEK for students and teachers! I am proud of how dedicated our students have been this year as they have learned and mastered  the AZ standards. I am proud of all the teachers and how they have collaborated and worked as grade level teams to support all our learners!

 Please avoid any appointments or tardies  April 17- April 24.  Our second graders will be taking the Sat10 April 25th and 26th.  Students being present and on time is of utmost importance. Once the AIMS testing has begun, students cannot enter classrooms. Oftentimes students feel very stressful when they are being tested--AIMS tests not timed and we feel that our students are ready for this state and national test. This is the opportunity that students get to show what they know! Here are some tips that will help your child.
Helpful hints for students! :)
1.  Keep a positive attitude throughout the whole test and try to stay relaxed. If you start to feel nervous take a few deep breaths to relax.
2. Eat breakfast! It is really hard to focus on a test when your stomach is growling.
3. Do what you know first! This is really helpful! You know alot of information, take your time and process through it all.
4. Sleep! Make sure you are well rested--get a good night's sleep!
RELAX!!! We know our students will try their hardest! Good luck!
