Tip of the Month: Parent Involvement Facts:
Ten Things Parents Can Do To Prepare for CATS Testing
1. Remember testing dates (April 21-May 2, 2008) by marking your
calendar.
2. Schedule student appointments and trips that don't conflict with the testing
period. It's important that your child be in school to take the tests.
Try to keep your child healthy and in school so they won’t have
to miss any of the required testing dates and, thus, won’t have to do make-up
sessions.
3. Be positive. Encourage your child to take the test seriously and do his or
her best. Explain to them that the results not only reflect upon their school
and teachers, but also on their level of performance.
4. Check for information from your child's school about test preparation and
anything else which may be helpful prior to taking the tests.
5. Make sure your child gets a good night's rest – at least eight hours of sleep
— before each test day.
6. Make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast that includes protein and
excludes sugary food the morning of each test day.
7. Tell your child to listen carefully to the instructions and to ask questions
if he or she doesn't understand. Encourage them to be relaxed, think positive
and confident they will do well.
8. Remind your child to carefully read the test questions and to not rush
through a test. If there is time, remind them to check their answers.
9. Discuss any concerns or anxieties your child may have about the tests. If you
have serious concerns or questions, call your child's teacher, principal or
guidance counselor.
10. On test days, dress your child comfortably and avoid any unnecessary
distractions. Get them to school on time, give them a hug and wish them good
luck.
