Dear Highlands Parents,
REMINDER – As we approach the state’s upcoming testing window for grades 3 through 5, we want to remind you of some important considerations to ensure your child’s success.
Please ensure that your child gets plenty of rest the night before each testing day and has a nutritious breakfast in the morning. A good night’s sleep and a healthy meal can significantly impact their concentration and performance during the test.
We kindly request that any non-urgent appointments be scheduled outside of the testing window. If there are unavoidable appointments during this time, we encourage you to try to schedule them in a way that minimally disrupts your child’s testing schedule. If a student must leave before their testing begins, we strongly recommend bringing them back to complete the test prior to the day’s end. This ensures that they can stay on track with their peers and perform to the best of their abilities.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping our students succeed during this important testing period. Below is the testing schedule. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Ryan Ball, Principal Highlands Elementary
- Testing Window: April 9th-19th. Refer to this link for testing dates and times.
- All iPads must be updated to the latest operating system, iPad iOS 17.3 or later. *Instructions for updating your iPad can be found at this link. We recommend you perform this while the device is charging overnight.
