Preparing Kids for State Tests - Wichita Eagle

* Know when your children will be tested by visiting the district's Web site, www.usd259.com, and look under "Curriculum and Assessment."
* Make sure they get plenty of sleep the night before and eat breakfast the morning of the test.
* Encourage them to relax before the test. Jackie Lugrand, supervisor of the Parent Teacher Resource Center, said parents should talk to their kids about any anxieties they have.
* Don't put too much pressure on them. "The results of this test aren't going to be the end-all, be-all," Lugrand said.
* Read up on the tests. Booklets are online at www.ksde.org/topics/just-for-parents.html.
* Check children's homework daily, ask about how their day went and maintain communication with their teachers.
