LUES Family Focus for April: Don't Stress the TEST!
Stay Positive- Maintain a positive attitude about testing. Encourage your child to approach assessments as opportunities to showcase their knowledge and skills, and remind them that you are looking for growth, not perfection. Your attitude about the test can be contagious to your child, so it is important that it is positive!

Regular Study Habits- Encourage your child to review materials and practice problems before the test. Consistent study habits, implemented over time, can boost confidence and minimize stress and anxiety on test day. Don't try to cram the material in the night before the test, that is unrealistic and will increase testing anxiety.

Healthy Diet- Provide a balanced breakfast on test days or encourage your child to eat at school. Fueling the body with nutritious foods can improve cognitive function.

Rest: Ensure your child gets a good night's sleep before test days. Put these dates on your calendar: April 21-25, 2025 , and try to make sure your schedule allows them to be in bed on time the night before their tests. A well-rested mind increases focus and performance.
