~Acorn Elementary~
Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is test day.
Tomorrow through Thursday your child will be taking ACT® Aspire® assessments for 3rd-6th. The valuable data we gain from these assessments allows us to make evidence based decisions when addressing your child’s strengths, areas for improvement, and growth potential. This can give you an early indication of his or her likely readiness for the future, providing time to address areas where improvement is needed.
Important things to remember for this week’s testing:
• Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before the tests.
• Have your child at school on time.
• Make sure your child has a nutritional breakfast.
• Encourage your child not to stress about this test, but to try their hardest to show what they have learned this school year.

New Oden yearbooks will be available early next month!
Retro yearbooks are still available for the low introductory price of $10 each until May. Getcha One!
