Help Your Child Do Well on Tests
AIMS testing
begins March 30th and concludes
April 17th. Please review your school newsletter for up-to-date
information about testing dates and times. Following are some
suggested ways you can help your child do well on tests:
-
Talk with your child’s teacher often to
monitor your child’s progress and find out what you can do at
home to help your child.
-
Make sure your child does his or her
homework
-
Make sure your child has regular
attendance at school.
-
Make sure your child is well rested and
eats a well-rounded diet.
-
Have a variety of books and magazines at
home to encourage your child’s curiosity.
-
Don’t be overly anxious about test scores,
but encourage your child to take tests seriously.
-
Don’t judge your child on the basis of a
single test score.

Tell us what you think!
Please share your celebrations and suggestions with us! How are
the current Native American Student Services programs and Native
American Parent Advisory Committee serving your family's needs?
Please send your thoughts and suggestions for improvement to
Terry to use as we plan 2009/10 services. Here are some
questions to help get you started:
·
What are your top three priorities for Native American programming in
Kyrene?
·
What services are provided that you like?
·
What services are provided that you think should change? How?
·
How do you think we could increase participation in the Native American
Parent Advisory Committee meetings and events? (What would
encourage you to come?)
Thank you so much
for providing your valuable input!
