Notes of Encouragement for NWEA

Please keep an eye out for this letter coming home this week! :) 

Dear Family,

NWEA and DIBELS testing is just around the corner! Thank you in advance for making sure that your child is in school on the days that our class is testing.  We will be testing on:
  • Wednesday, January 25 (DIBELS)
  • Monday, January 30 (NWEA reading)
  • Tuesday, February 7 (NWEA math) 

NWEA makeups will take place after each testing session for students that need more time.  There is no time limit. 

The importance of a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast on the morning of the test cannot be stressed enough! In class, we will be reading Winner’s Never Quit by Mia Hamm.  Just like an athlete must always do their best and never give up, students must do the same!  Our theme for testing will be to be game day ready!

Athletes also need encouragement from their fans! THAT’S YOU!On the next page you will find a baseball.  Please write an encouraging note to your child inside the baseball.  Cut it out and return it to school in the attached paper bag so that your child cannot peek! On the morning of one of our tests, I will give your note to your child to remind them that you believe in them!  

As always, thank you for your continued support! 


Mrs. Largy
