Dear Parents and Guardians, I hope this letter finds you well. As we move through this important time in the school year, I want to share a few important reminders regarding our upcoming benchmark and common assessment testing over the next several weeks. •Closed Campus for Testing – 2/3-2/13/25• To maintain a quiet and focused testing environment, our campus will be closed to visitors this week during benchmark and common assessment testing. Please make sure your child arrives on time each day, well-rested, and ready to do their best. •Student Testing Tips• To help your child be successful during testing, please encourage the following: * Get a good night’s sleep before each test day. * Eat a healthy breakfast to stay focused and energized. * Arrive on time to avoid feeling rushed. * Encourage a positive attitude—remind them to do their best and take their time. We know this does not show us all of the wonderful things our students can do but the data does help us to drive instruction and meet their educational needs. * Bring glasses if needed to ensure they can read clearly. * Encourage deep breaths and a calm mindset to help reduce test anxiety. •Health & Illness Reminders• We have seen an increase in illnesses across our campus. To help keep everyone healthy: * If your child is sent home by the nurse due to illness, please follow the school’s health guidelines before returning. * Students must be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication before returning to school. * Encourage frequent handwashing at home and school. * Please wash coats, backpacks, and lunchboxes regularly to help prevent the spread of germs. Thank you for your support in keeping our students healthy and ensuring a successful testing week. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the school office. Sincerely, Jordyn Livingston Principal Sam Houston STEM Academy
