I can't believe it but testing week is here. Our staff and students have worked very hard for the last 29 weeks to prepare for these assessments. I know that our students are ready to show what they know! Parents often ask how they can help their children during the OAAs. Here is a list of testing tips that you can share with your child as they prepare for their assessments.
