After the relaxing 3 day weekend, students will be back to school for ISAT testing. The first 3 class periods of the day students will be taking their tests. I recommend the following in order to be alert for testing:
1. Go to bed early - I know you all like to stay up late, but nothing is worse than sitting in a room for a few hours in silence bubbling in a test. Trust me - you'll feel better!

2. Eat breakfast! This doesn't mean pop a piece of gum in before the test. If you follow #1 and get a good night of sleep you will wake up refreshed and have enough time to grab a bowl of cereal or eat a piece of toast, granola bar or something nutritious in the morning! 
3. Have a couple of number 2 pencils. They can be regular or mechanical.
4. Wear something comfortable - dress in layers. You may get warm or cold while taking you test so bring a sweatshirt with to your testing room.
5. Read your test carefully - yes, you should read ALL of the words in the directions as well as the entire story for the reading portion.
6. Don't forget a calculator - teachers do not all have a classroom set of calculators so you need to bring your own.
