🌟 Helpful Tips for Families on MAP Testing Days
Testing days are an opportunity for students to show what they’ve learned—and families play an important role in helping them feel confident and prepared! Here are some simple ways to support your child during testing week.
💤 Ensure a Good Night’s Sleep
A full night of rest helps students stay focused and energized. A calm bedtime routine—like reading a book or turning off screens early—can make a big difference.
🍎 Encourage a Healthy Breakfast
Send students to school with a balanced breakfast to fuel their brains or remind them to get breakfast when they arrive at school. Foods like fruit, yogurt, eggs, oatmeal, or whole‑grain toast can help keep their energy steady throughout the morning.
⏰ Arrive to School on Time
A smooth, unrushed morning helps your child start the day feeling calm and ready. Preparing backpacks, lunches, and clothes the night before can make mornings easier for everyone.
💬 Encourage a Positive Mindset
A few kind words can boost confidence! Remind your child:
- “You’ve worked hard—just do your best.”
- “You are ready for this!”
- “I’m proud of you no matter what.”
📅 Avoid Scheduling Appointments
Whenever possible, try to keep students in school during testing time. It helps them stay in routine and ensures they test with their class.
🌈 Keep Mornings Low‑Stress
A calm morning sets the tone for the day. Consider a special note in their lunchbox, a quick hug, or a few encouraging words before they head out the door.
🧘♀️ Focus on Effort, Not Pressure
Let your child know that tests are just one way to show their learning—and they do not define who they are. Effort matters more than perfection.
🏃♂️ Encourage Movement & Play
Physical activity before or after testing helps students relax, reduce stress, and recharge.
