Dear Parents,

The year is quickly flying by! This means our EOG standardized test is coming up. Please take a moment to write two encouraging messages/notes to your child to read before the reading EOG and the math EOG. Please return these messages/notes in a sealed envelope addressed to me by June 15th, and I will give them to your child each day. This is a secret, so do not tell your child you are writing him/her letters. Thank you for your help and support!

Our class has been preparing for this and working hard to do our best on these tests. We can make your child’s test experience positive and successful by working together. I ask you to take the time to do these little things and help your child reach his/her fullest potential:

• Talk with your child about goals for this test.
• Make sure your child gets a good night’s rest.
• Have your child eat a healthy breakfast at home.
• Make sure your child arrives at school with plenty of time to prepare for the test (rushing around never makes for a calm child!)
• Gently encourage your child to do his/her best and show your faith in him/her!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Simmons
