Good Afternoon 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade VAS Families,

I would like to take this opportunity to share how nice it has been to have your students back 4 days a week!

This is just a reminder that our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students will take the ELA exam on Monday morning. The test this year will only be one day and should be shorter than in the past. Here are a few ways you can help your child prepare:

• Encourage your child to go to bed early and get a good night's rest.
• Ensure your child eats a good breakfast.
• Reassure your child that there is no reason to stress about the test. All they have to do is try their best!

If your child is currently remote, they can come in to take the exam but they are not required to do so. Please email me as soon as possible if you would like to have your child take the exam. My email address is deannagonzalez@hpcsd.org. State guidelines prohibit us from administering this assessment virtually. 

Have a great weekend!

Mrs. Gonzalez
