Dear LP Families,
As we move into the spring testing season, I would like to share an important reminder that the New York State English Language Arts (ELA) Exams will take place on Monday, April 28, and Tuesday, April 29 for all students in grades 3, 4, and 5.
These assessments give students an opportunity to demonstrate the reading, writing, and thinking skills they have been developing throughout the year. We are proud of the hard work our students and teachers have put into preparation.
✅ Attendance Is Very Important
Please make every effort to ensure your child is present and on time both days of testing. The ELA exam is administered over two days, and being present each day is essential for your child’s success and comfort.
🌟 Tips for Success
You can help your child feel confident and ready by:
Making sure they get a good night’s sleep the night before each test
Providing a healthy breakfast
Encouraging a positive mindset and reassuring them to simply do their best
Ensuring they arrive at school on time
Reminding them to take their time, read carefully, and show what they know
Please also avoid scheduling appointments or early dismissals on testing days if possible.
💬 Our Support
Our staff will create a calm, supportive testing environment and encourage students every step of the way. We want all students to feel confident, comfortable, and proud of their efforts.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or the main office.
Warm regards,
Dr. Bello
