Here are some tips to help students prepare for successful testing on these days:
 Get plenty of sleep each night.
 Eat a good breakfast each morning.
 Arrive to school on time each day.
 Relax and do the best you can.
 Keep a positive attitude.
 Use test taking strategies as instructed by the classroom teacher.
Kline Whitis Elementary will provide free breakfast for all third, fourth and fifth grade students on their testing day.
Thank you for the support and encouragement that you give your child. We know each and every child will endeavor to do his/her best. Please contact Ms. Morris at (512) 556-8291 with any questions you may have about the test.
Sincerely,
Kline Whitis Administration
