STAR Testing: Helping Your Children Achieve
This spring, students throughout California are
participating in the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program,
including students in the Fontana Unified School District. The STAR tests
measure student learning in English/Language Arts, Mathematics, History/Social
Science, and Science.Here are some ways
that you can help your child do well on the state tests:
- Ask your child's teacher if there are any
areas where your child needs extra help.
- Make sure your child is well rested.
Most children need 10 hours of sleep to perform their best.
- Provide a healthy breakfast, and send a good
snack for testing.
- Make sure your child arrives at school on
time.
- Make sure your child knows it's important to
take the test seriously, follow the rules, and do his or her best.
- Ask your child each day about the testing that
day.
- Discuss test results with your child when you
receive them.
Above all, keep things in perspective.
Standardized tests are just one of the many ways that schools measure children's
learning. Keep in mind that among many other things, good attendance, work
completion, and passing grades are also very important for your child's success
in school.
