Special Note to Parents about Stanford Tests
During the week of May 3rd, your child will take the Stanford Test Series, Tenth Edition. This week, in class, students will get extra practice time and learn some test taking strategies. You may continue to go through the Parent Practice Booklet at home, time permitted.
======================================================
The week of exams, students will be given minimal homework in order for them to get plenty of rest, sleep and nourishment. Grade 3 students should get approximately ten hours of sleep each night (we know this is tough, but try your best). In addition, they should come to school after a well balanced breakfast and with a fruit/vegetable snack for the mid-morning.

Thank you for your support.
