Dear Parents and Students
It is hard to believe that first semester is almost over, it has gone so
quickly! Just a few reminders...SOL testing will be administered before
Winter break and is scheduled to begin on Friday, December 11. There are lots
of ways that you can help your student to prepare for testing. These tips can
also help to prepare for final exams, scheduled for January.
1. Search for and use on-line practice testing.
2. There are lots of great on-line tutorials for science, search by topic.
3. Review, correct and study old tests.
4. Ask for tutoring, ask questions in class.
5. Do your best in class and take advantage of homework and classwork.
6. Get plenty of rest and approach testing armed with confidence and smart
test taking strategies.
Hope you all have an enjoyable holiday season.
Sincerely,
