📚 District Benchmark Testing Window: December 2–10 📚
P.L. Julian Families, this week begins our District Benchmark Testing Window from 12/2–12/10. These assessments are very important because they help us understand how much your child has grown, what they have mastered, and how we can adjust instruction to make sure every student gets the support they need. Thank you for partnering with us to help our Eagles shine!
✨ How You Can Help Your Children Do Their Best:
-Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep each night.
-Arrive to school on time and avoid absences during the testing window.
-Encourage a positive mindset- tell them you believe in them and remind them to take their time and do their best!
