As always, it is recommended that in preparing for these assessments, the children get a good night’s rest and have a sound, nutritional breakfast, assuring their best possible physical condition and mental alertness for the testing situation.

 

We urge you also to impress upon your children the importance of these assessments, as they are invaluable as evaluation guides; but please do not put any undue pressure on your child by trying to cram, review, etc.  These are assessments of general knowledge and children are prepared for them.

Thank you for your cooperation.


 

Sincerely,

 

Steve Kiel
