Blackwater families and students,
State testing is here, and we appreciate your support in helping our students do their very best!
In addition to arriving on time, getting good sleep, and offering positive encouragement, here are a few more helpful tips for parents:
✔️ Make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast each morning (at home or here at school)
✔️ Encourage your child to try their best — effort matters!
✔️ Avoid scheduling appointments during testing hours (if possible)
✔️ Ensure your child brings any needed items (glasses, headphones if allowed, etc.)
✔️ Help your child stay calm and confident — remind them they are prepared!
✔️ Keep a consistent routine at home throughout the week
Together, we can set our students up for success. Thank you for partnering with us and supporting our EAGLES! 💙

◦ Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be fingertip length when arms are extended naturally at the sides
• Bottoms must fit at the waist (no tight-fitting or oversized/baggy clothing)
• No sweatpants, gym shorts, or pajama pants
• For safety reasons, students are encouraged to wear closed-toe shoes. Crocs and slides are not allowed
