HJHS will begin state testing on Monday, April 11th and continue through Tuesday, April 19th. We encourage students to do their best on all assessments. You can help your child do their best on these assessments by making sure, if possible, that your child attends school on the days of testing, making sure your child gets a good night’s sleep the night before testing, providing breakfast on the mornings of testing, reminding your child to ask the teacher questions if they do not understand the test directions, letting your child know you have confidence in their ability to do their best, and advising your child not to worry about the test. Please contact your student’s math or ELA teacher if you need additional information or have further questions.
