Principal Rasband's Steps to Success

By Rich Rasband, Principal

Parents and students, starting Tuesday May 10, Guadalupe School will begin administering the SAGE Test. This is a very important time of the school year, because students will have the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned throughout the year. We want all of our students to do their best on this test. The following tips will help you be successful on the test.

• Eat before a good breakfast the day of the test. Having food in your stomach will give you energy and help you focus.  Avoid heavy foods which can make you groggy.

 

• Get enough rest the night before the test. Getting enough sleep will help keep you alert so that you can do your best.

 

• Make sure you come to school the week before the test. The teacher will help you review for the test and also help you better understand the format of the test.

 

• Make sure you use the restroom before you take the test. That way you can focus on the test.

 

• Relax! Remember, everything on the test you will have studied previously.

 

• Take your time and do your best on the test. Read the questions thoroughly and make sure you understand what each question is asking. Students will have enough time to complete the test, so there is no reason to rush.

We appreciate the hard work of our students and teachers to ensure that our students do well. We have awesome students and we know you will do your best on the SAGE test.
