📢 Attention Students and Parents! 📢 The West Virginia Summative Assessment is approaching fast, scheduled from May 6th-8th for grades 3rd-5th. It's an exciting opportunity for our students to showcase their skills and knowledge! 🌟📚
To ensure our students perform their best, we encourage the following:
💤🛌Get a good night's sleep: Rest is crucial for focus and concentration. Aim for 8 hours of quality sleep each night leading up to the assessment.
🍌🍎 Eat a nutritious breakfast: Fuel your brain with a healthy breakfast to kickstart the day. Foods like whole grains, fruits, and protein can provide lasting energy.
⏰Be to school on time: Arriving punctually ensures a smooth start to the assessment. Plan your morning routine accordingly to avoid any rush.
Parents, your support in helping students adhere to these guidelines is greatly appreciated. Let's set our students up for success together! #GoGilmer
