Good Afternoon, Burgaw Middle School Families,
As we prepare for the End of Grade (EOG) assessments, we need your help. Please review the following items with your child/children. With all the hard work we have seen this year, we want our students to be set up for success.
Turn off electronic devices (cell phones, TV’s, etc.) by 8:00pm each night.
Get plenty of sleep by going to bed early.
If a student must be woken up more than twice during the EOG, they will be be removed from the testing environment and will need to take a retest.
Eat a healthy breakfast or encourage students to eat a healthy breakfast when they arrive to school.
Please make sure Chromebooks are charged every day.
Please make sure students bring their Chromebook and charger every day.
Arrive to school on time, promptly at 7:10am. If students are late, they may have to take their test on a different day.
Families, thank you for your help!
