A.I.M.S. & SAT 10 TESTING
Lake View believes our
students are doing a
great job in their academics. When our students score well on the
AIMS test and the SAT
10 test, they show their
parents, our school and
themselves that they are
learning.
Each state in the U.S. has
these types of tests so
students can show how
much they have learned in
elementary schools. The
scores from these tests
also go into the label a
school receives from the
state of Arizona.
We want to challenge all
our students to do their
VERY best so they and
our parents can be even
more proud of them.
To do your “best on
the test” you will
need to:
•
Get a good night’s
sleep
•
Eat a good breakfast
•
Get to school on
time
MATH HOMEWORK TIPS FOR PARENTS
•
Follow the progress your child is making in math. Check with your child
dairy about his homework.
•
If you don’t understand your child’s math assignments, engage in frequent
communication with his or her teacher.
•
If your child is experiencing problems in math, contact the teacher to
learn whether he or she is working at grade level and what can be done at
home to help improve academic progress.
•
Request that your child’s teacher schedule after-school math tutoring
sessions if your child really needs help.
•
Advocate with the principal for the use of research-based peer tutoring
programs for math. These tutoring programs have proven results, and
students really enjoy them.
•
Use household chores as opportunities for reinforcing math learning such
as cooking and repair activities.
•
Try to be aware of how your child is being taught math, and don’t teach
strategies and shortcuts that conflict with the approach the teacher is
using. Check in with the teacher and ask what you can do to help. Ask
the teacher about online resources that you can use with your child at
home.
Please do not
schedule any appointments or plan
to check your children out during
AIMS testing. It is
also VERY important that students
arrive to school on
time and are not
tardy.
