New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK)

Testing begins May 7th - May 11th

TEST TIME LAST MINUTE TIPS

Make sure that your child eats a light break-fast and attends school on time each test day.

Reassure your child that he/she knows how to answer the questions.

Make sure your child gets enough rest each night during testing week.

Explain to your child that the test will have some difficult questions-they should do their best and finish the entire test.

Let your child know that test scores are looked at along with other information in determining his/her achievement level.

Tell your child that you love him/her-no matter what. Emphasize that your love and acceptance of your child are unconditional.

We were in a Hawaiian “state of mind” on Friday April 27. You can see by the pictures how much fun we had dressing Hawaiian-style as our book fair came to a close.
