April Newsletter

Principally Speaking
I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge all the hard work and effort you have put forth so far this year. In the next few days, the state will begin evaluating your school progress by means of the TCAP test. I know you are well prepared to take the test and will do your best. Below are a few tips that will assist in ensuring you will be at your best while taking the test during the week of April 14.
  • Get plenty of rest.
  • Eat a nutritious breakfast each morning.
  • Listen closely to the directions and take care to follow the directions exactly. Ask for explanations if you do not know what to do.
  • Do your personal best.
  • Stay calm and relaxed
  • Good Luck!
