Iowa Testing for 2nd Grade begins tomorrow, Monday, October 12th and continues through, Tuesday, October 13th.
Here are some tips to help prepare your student:
• Turn off screens early: Put away phones, tablets, and TVs 1 to 2 hours before bed to avoid blue light and help the brain wind down.
• Get to bed on time: Aim for a full, normal night of healthy sleep.
• Set alarms: Plan for an early, unrushed morning so nobody has to rush out the door.
• Stay positive and calm.
• Offer encouragement: Remind them that tests only measure what they know right now and that you are proud of their hard work.
• Focus on a normal, positive evening routine

CogAT Testing begins tomorrow for 2nd Grade and continues through Thursday. Tonight, focus entirely on keeping your child calm, rested, and confident.
Tips for each evening before testing include:
• Maintain normal routines: Keep dinner light, healthy, and familiar, and let your child wind down with a relaxing, joyful activity like reading or playing quietly.
• Prioritize early sleep: Help your child get a full, uninterrupted night of rest so their brain is sharp for memory, focus, and problem-solving.
• Prepare logistics ahead: Lay out comfortable clothes, pack a healthy snack or water bottle if allowed, and organize school bags the night before to prevent a rushed morning.
• Keep a positive mindset: Remind your child that the CogAT is just an opportunity to show how they think, and that you are proud of their effort no matter
