=**Welcome Edgewood Middle School Parents**=

Dear Parents, It may seem early to start thinking of the spring OAT tests; however, it will be here before we know it. You play a very important role in your child(ren)'s success on these tests. First, if you stress the importance of the tests, it will impact your child's attitude. Clearly, we don't want to stress them, but we do want them to do their best. We want them to spend time working on their tests, taking pride in their effort. Second, students need to be physically ready for the test--they need to be well rested and well fed. Finally, we will be planning a parent OAT meeting one evening prior to the tests; I encourage you to attend so that you can see the kinds of questions the students are required to answer. It will help you understand what they will be going through. The date will be announced later.
