📚🦅 Beginning-of-the-Year Benchmark Assessments Are Coming! 🦅📚
Pleasant Hill Families, our students will soon begin completing their Beginning-of-the-Year (BOY) benchmark assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. These assessments are an important part of starting the school year strong! 💙💛
📊 Why are these assessments important?
The results help our teachers understand what students already know, identify areas where they may need additional support, and use data to plan instruction that meets the needs of every learner. This information helps us set meaningful goals and determine the supports students need as we begin the school year.
🏡 How can you help your child prepare at home?
* 📖 Encourage your child to read every day—even for 15–20 minutes!
* 🧮 Practice basic math facts through games or everyday activities.
* 😴 Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep before assessment days.
* 🍎 Start the day with a healthy breakfast.
* 💻 If possible, allow your child to practice using a computer or tablet so they feel comfortable navigating digital assessments.
* 💬 Remind your child to take their time, do their best, and not give up when a question is challenging.
* ❤️ Most importantly, reassure your child that these assessments are simply a way for their teachers to learn how to best help them grow!
Remember, these assessments are not about being perfect—they are about showing what students know and what they are ready to learn next. 🌟
Thank you for partnering with us as we work together to make this a successful school year for every Pleasant Hill Eagle! 🦅💙💛
We are ready to SOAR! ✨
📢 Pleasant Hill Elementary Family Reminder! 🦅💙💛
