A NOTE FROM MRS. HYLAND
 
Dear Berkeley Hills families,

This week (Monday through Thursday) students in grades 1-6 will take Terra Nova Third Edition* achievement tests. At times, students become anxious about achievement testing. Here are some helpful ideas for for your family during testing week:
 
  • Pray with your child every morning
  • Develop and maintain a routine schedule
  • Be sure your child gets a good night’s sleep
  • Provide a healthy breakfast and avoid sugary snacks
  • Allow your child down time to unwind after school
 
Important Reminder: If you haven’t done so yet, be sure to schedule your Parent Teacher Conference using the online link below!

Blessings,
Kimberly Hyland
Principal

Families are responsible for fulfilling the required hours by April 30 and recording them in ParentsWeb no later than May 3. Service hours not fulfilled are billed (rate of $10 per hour) to the family in May.
