Terra Nova for Second Grade Students
Dear Hickory Point Second Grade Parent,
Second grade students will take the Terra Nova Tests between November 28-December 1, 2023. Testing will take place throughout the day. You can help your child do their best on the test by:
-
Ensure your child attends school on the days of testing and arrives on time. Once a testing session has begun, children may enter the classroom during 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.
-
Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep the night before testing.
-
Ensure your child's Chromebook is completely charged and brought to school daily.
