Georgia Milestones Ready

We are gearing up to do our best!  Teachers and students have been working hard all year to equip students to be successful in all of their classes and to show what they have learned on the Georgia Milestones Assessment.  To ensure that our students are ready to do their best, here are a few testing reminders: 

• Get a good night's sleep before each testing day. Try to avoid late sports practices or games, late night T.V. and late cell phone calls/texting during testing. When students are rested they are able to concentrate and do their best on the test.
   

• Eat a light, nutritious breakfast each morning before testing. Food is the fuel that powers the body and the brain. Fruits, carbohydrates such as breads, and proteins such as eggs work best to give your child testing energy. 
   

• Be in school each day and on time.  Schedule any doctor or dentist appointments in the late afternoon during the week of testing. Students will not be allowed to be checked out of class while testing is taking place. We can not interrupt testing to call students for checkout during the morning testing sessions or during afternoon makeup sessions.
   

• During the Milestones testing window, there will be no Help Days and no before/after school activities. We want our students to be focused and ready!
