Starting SBAC Testings with a Pep Rally

At Naramake Elementary, we kicked off SBAC testing by hosting a pep rally to educate students in Grades 3 through 5 about the purpose of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), what to expect, and effective test-taking strategies.

While we've been preparing students at school, your support at home is vital. Here are some simple steps you can take to support your child during this period:

• Ensure your child arrives at school on time every day.
• Make sure your child eats a nutritious breakfast, either at home or at school, to energize their mind and body.
• Assist your child in establishing a consistent bedtime routine to ensure they get plenty of restful sleep each night.
• Most importantly, encourage your child to do their best and reassure them that their efforts are what truly count.

Thank you for your ongoing support!
