This letter was written to parents in regards to the upcoming testing to be done. It was written to both inform parents and remind them of the importance of prompt arrivals and good night's sleep during the testing period. Because this is some of the parent's first experience with standardized tests, we wanted to make sure parents were aware of the importance. At the same time, Halloween was coming also, and an explanation of the celebration as well as requests for party materials were also incorporated. This note was sent home in the student's bags on the Thursday before the week of testing.
