CPT Testing: Please bring quick, easy snacks, filled water bottle, and a book for your child to read if they finish a section early. Any snack that requires a spoon or fork, such a yogurt or fruit cups, should be reserved for lunch. Your student’s snacks should be packed separate from their lunchbox so that they can quickly access them.

While this is low stakes testing, it is important that your child come to school each day on time and prepared to do their best. Please make sure that your student is well rested and has eaten a good breakfast. There is substantial time scheduled for snack, water, restroom, and stretch breaks.
