TerraNova Tips for Parents
The week of 10 through 14 March, Vicenza Elementary third, fourth, and fifth grade students
will take the TerraNova Multiple Assessment, Third Edition. There are several things you as a
parent can do to help your child do his/her best on this norm-referenced test.
Encourage your child to develop good study habits throughout the year. These include
reading and following directions carefully, avoiding careless errors, and rechecking work.
Explain the purpose of the test, which is to find out which skills the students have learned
and which skills need further development. Remind your child that this is not a test that
they can fail. Rather, it is an opportunity to show what they have learned in school.
Let your child know that the test is a “snapshot” of the many things he or she has learned so
far. Last minute studying won’t help very much because the tests cover a wide array of
information.
Let your child know that it is important for her/him to do her/his best on the test. However,
the test is only one measure of what your child knows.
Reassure your child that he/she need not worry about the test. Students who are selfconfident and calm do better on tests.
Be sure your child gets plenty of sleep and has a nourishing breakfast and lunch. Taking
tests takes energy.
Be sure your child drinks plenty of water every day. The brain thinks better when it is well
hydrated.
Make sure your child gets to school on time. Rushing or worrying about being late may
affect test performance.
Please avoid scheduling doctor or dentist appointments during testing times.
Ask your child about the testing at the end of each day.
At the end of the school year when the test results arrive, discuss your child’s scores with
the teacher or counselor and your child. Afterwards, ask the teacher to suggest activities
that can be done at home to improve your child’s skills and knowledge.

Cultural Exchange
On Feb 13, 2014, Vicenza Elementary school was involved in a
cultural exchange with an Elementary School from Padova.
I want to thank teachers Mrs. K P, Ms. C M, Ms. D M, and Mrs. P
S for hosting the Italian student exchange. They provided both
the Italian and American students an excellent opportunity to
use each other’s languages for their enrichment, and for the
development of their communication skills.
A big “grazie,” also, to all the parents who contributed to make
this event a success.

standards of conduct within Vicenza Elementary. Please note that the SAC does not address personnel practices, internal
management or PTSA concerns.

school, (usually a two hour delay), or release students
early. The decision to close or delay the opening of
school cannot be made by school officials. On mornings
with heavy snow, ice, or fog, students and their sponsors
should listen to AFN radio for announcements about
school closure or delays. Consult your school’s “Student
Handbook” for guidance specific to your location.
