CSAP TESTING
In preparation for the CSAP, we would like to ask the following of parents:

       *It is very important that students get a good night’s rest each 
       night.

      *A nutritious breakfast is a critical factor for students taking the 
       CSAP. 

      *Pack an extra snack and make sure that they bring a bottle of 
       water. 

      *We will provide a quiet and comfortable school environment to 
       ensure that they have the necessary materials for each test 
       battery.  
        
      *Please have your student to school on time. Students arriving late
       will not be permitted to begin the test and will be required to 
       take a make-up exam.

      *Do Not allow students to bring cell phones, Ipods/MP3 players or
       other electronic devices to school during CSAP. Under the new
       state guidelines, if a cell phone rings or any electronic device is on
       during testing, it could invalidate the test for the entire class.

      *If you would like to donate snacks or drinks for your child's
       class, please contact their teacher.
        

With your help and cooperation, we will continue to see our students reaching their potential and being successful with the CSAP.
