💡 Tips for Parents to Help Students Succeed:
Make sure your child gets a good night's rest before testing
Provide a healthy breakfast to start the day strong

Offer positive encouragement and remind your child to do their best
Keep the morning calm and stress-free to help set the tone for the day

If your child has not brought their Chromebook to school, please ensure they bring it on Tuesday so we can confirm the device is updated and ready for testing
