Second-grade students will take the Terra Nova Tests between December 2 and December 5, 2025. Testing will take place throughout the day. You can help your child do their best on the test by:

• Make sure that your child attends school on the days of testing and arrives on time. Once a testing session has begun, children may not enter the classroom until the next break. Also, unless they become ill, children should not be called out of the room or allowed to leave the classroom during a testing session. Breaks are given between tests. 
• Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep the night before the test.
• Providing breakfast for your child.
• Remind your child to ask the teacher questions if they do not understand the test directions.
• Let your child know that you have confidence in their ability to do their best.
• Advising your child not to worry about the test - just do their best.

You will receive information about your child’s performance results in January. 

Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or us if you have any questions or would like additional information.
