NO PARKING IN THE YELLOW FIRE LANES.
Parking will be monitored by the Police and tickets will be
given out for all illegally parked cars. Please park in
the two lots to the right and left of the school.
Cafeteria and recess monitors – are needed to help
with supervision during these times. If you are interested in
working on an as-needed basis for two and a half-hours per
day, see Assistant Principal Teresa Murphy for an application.
This is a great opportunity for "stay-at-home"
parents to work for a brief period of time and contribute to
your child’s school while making a little extra money.
Test Taking
Strategies (Tips on answering
multiple-choice questions)
 | Read the question before you look at
the answer. |
| Come up with the answer in your head
before looking at the possible answers, this way the
choices given on the test won't therow you off or trick
you.
|
| Eliminate answers you know aren't
right. |
| Read all the choices before choosing
your answer. |
| If there is no guessing penalty, always
take an educated guess and select an answer. |
| Don't keep on changing your answer;
usually your first choice is the right one, unless you
miss-read the question. |
| In "All of the above" and
"None of the above" choices, if you are
certain one of the statements is true don't choose
"None of the above" or one of the statements
are false don't choose "All of the above". |
| In a question with an "All of the
above" choice, if you see that at least two correct
statements, then "All of the above" is
probably the answer. |
| Read the directions carefully. |
| Read through the test a second time and
answer more difficult questions. You may pick up
cues for answers from the first reading, or become more
comfortable in the testing situation. |
| If time allows, review both questions
and answers. It is possible you miss-read
questions the first time. |
