Parent Tips: How to Help Your Child
Prepare for HHE-ACT Aspire Testing:
On Test Day 💻
Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and eats a healthy breakfast.🥞
Many teachers report that students who don't do well on tests haven't gotten enough sleep, and haven't eaten breakfast on the morning of the test. Doing both of these things will ensure that your child is working at full capacity. 💪
Remain positive! 😁
Staying calm will help your child stay calm. If he/she gets nervous about the test, or is likely to experience anxiety during the test, help him/her practice some relaxation techniques that they can try once they’re taking the test.
Thank you Carolyn and Daxx for the drinks and popcorn today. Mrs. Johnson's room really enjoyed it. Y’all are the BEST.
Due to Friday being a holiday meal pick up will be Thursday from 1pm-2pm at Louise Durham & Mena High School.
