This year’s standardized testing for students in grades 3–5 will begin on Monday, April 13, and continue through Thursday, April 16. We will once again be using the Educational Records Bureau (ERB) Comprehensive Testing Program.
You can help your child feel confident and prepared by:
Ensuring they get a good night’s sleep each evening
Providing a healthy breakfast each morning
Arriving at school on time so they can begin the day calmly and without feeling rushed
Packing a water bottle to help them stay hydrated
Encouraging a positive mindset—remind them to simply do their best
Avoid scheduling appointments during testing hours, if possible
Offering reassurance and keeping the experience low-pressure and supportive
Reviewing test-taking basics (take your time, read directions carefully, and check your work)
