ERB Testing

Next week is testing week!  ERB standardized tests will be administered April 19th - 22nd for grades 1st through 8th.  Here's what you need to know to ensure the week goes smoothly for your student:

When:

  • Grades 1 - 5     Monday, April 19th - Thursday, April 22nd
  • Grades 6 - 8.    Monday, April 19th - Wednesday, April 21st

Preparing for the test:

  • Please keep this week as normal as possible to alleviate stress and encourage your student's best effort.
  • Make sure your student gets adequate sleep and arrives unhurried and on time each day.
  • Please plan for your child to be in attendance during testing times each day unless there is an emergency or illness.

Testing Days:

  • Please arrive before 8 am.  If you arrive after 8 am, check in with Mrs. Boswell as usual and leave your child with her.  Please DO NOT take your child to the classroom after 8 am!
  • All students will need a #2 pencil for testing days.  (Ticonderoga brand pencils are great because the erasers work well.)
