TESTING Announcements for 5/7/13

GRYPHON TESTING ANNOUNCEMENTS

For Tuesday, May 7, 2013

It is May – and that means it’s testing time!  Here are some things to know and keep in mind about how we “do testing” at the L&N:

o   Get a good night’s sleep the night before any test – a rested brain is a focused brain.

o   Eat breakfast on test mornings – your brain needs fuel.

o   Be sure you have #2 lead pencils to use during testing.

o   Come prepared with a calculator (check with math teachers for approved models) for math tests.  You will NOT be able to use your iPad or calculator on a cell phone.

o   Bring a book or something quiet that does NOT include electronics to do after you finish your test.  You will not be able to leave the room until everyone is dismissed and will not be allowed to use your iPad, listen to an iPod, or use a cellphone in a testing room.

o   Read announcements every day to see where you need to report – even if you’re not testing, your classroom could be used for testing and we don’t want people opening doors or disturbing areas.
