The Wildcat Weekly - Apr. 17

Posted Date: 04/17/26 (05:47 PM)

📝 Keep it Up: ISAT Testing Continues Next Week!

As we head into next week, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students will continue with their ISAT testing. Our Wildcats did a fantastic job staying focused this week, and we want to keep that momentum going!

These assessments are a great opportunity for students to show off their hard work. To help them stay energized and ready to shine for round two, please keep these top testing tips in mind:

💤 Rest Up: A solid 8–10 hours of sleep makes a huge difference in focus.
🍳 Fuel the Brain: A nutritious breakfast helps students stay alert through the morning.
⏰ Be on Time: Arriving at school punctually helps students start the day with a calm, confident mindset.
✨ Positive Vibes: A little encouragement goes a long way—remind them that they’ve got this!
🐢 Take Your Time: Remind them to read carefully and check their work; there's no prize for finishing first!

Thank you for your continued support in keeping testing week a positive and stress-free experience for our students. We are so proud of our hard-working Wildcats! 🐾
