Parent Workshop
Don’t Stress About the Test!
The State Tests are right around the corner and we know that almost everyone gets a bit nervous and tense around this time. For some children these tests could be terrifying for others they are a breeze. Stress, in various forms, has become increasingly common amongst young children. Children have less experience in dealing with stressful situations and may not be familiar with how to manage or express their burden adequately. Therefore it becomes as a parent’s job to be able to tell if their child is under too much pressure and even further, to alleviate this pressure.
Parents of children in Grades 3-5, you are invited to join us on Thursday, March 22nd at 8:15 AM in the PS 217 Library to discuss the many ways you can recognize and manage the angst and the pressure of test taking. Learn how to help yourself and your child to deal with the many aspects of test anxiety. The workshop’s agenda will also cover the changes in the ELA State Test format.
ELA State Test: April 11-12
Math State Test: May 1-2
Science (Written): June 4 (Grade 4 only)
