how students performed compared to other students across the nation. Early and active involvement by a parent throughout their child's educationhelping with homework, talking about school, attending school activitiesis the most powerful influence and has benefits that reach far beyond a student's preK-12 years. Parent interest in supporting their child's success on state assessments gives students a huge advantage. The best way to support your child in being successful on state assessments is to be sure students get plenty of rest the night before testing. Make sure your child is present and on time for testing everyday! If you need to schedule appointments for your child please try to schedule them for the afternoon. Prior to testing show your
support by being actively engaged in classes and monitoring their progress in those classes. Ask your child what he/she has learned; show an interest in class work, homework, and test results; and talk to the teacher whenever you need more information about your child's mastery of the content standards. Though report card grades are useful in assessing how well your child is performing in that class, you would not want to wait until a nine week quarter has been completed to find out if your child was struggling and needed help in any area. One effective way to monitor students success is through the Parent Portal. Usernames and passwords were sent home with every student in the fall. If you need a copy Please contact Ms. Porter in the main office for your Parent Portal username and
and password. For strategies to help prepare your child for the MSA, visit mdk12.org. The site has an "Item of the Week" section that provides sample questions to help prepare your child for the assessments.
