Use these letters to parents templates to notify them about upcoming standardized and state testing. The letters include a request to the parents to write letters of encouragement to their children so they can read them before testing. This product includes different versions of the letters to parents, lined paper for the parents to write their letters, PLUS a end of the year letter for you to send out to your students.

✨Take a peek at the preview to get a closer look.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

• 6-page PDF file
• 4 editable versions of the testing notification letter to parents
• lined paper for parents to write their encouragement letter to their children
• bonus "goodbye" letter for the end of the school year.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose which letter you want to send to parents to notify them of major testing and request letters of encouragement.

2. EDIT the letter to include the deadline for letters from parents and your name.

3. Print the letter and send it to parents or send via email.

4. Collect the letters of encouragement from the parents and distribute to the students prior to state or standardized testing.

WHO IS IT FOR?

• Elementary School Teachers: This resource is a great way to built rapport with parents and work together to encourage your students during testing time!

FEATURES

• Each page is 8.5" x 11", but you can adjust this in your printer settings.

These are a few math support sheets for upper elementary! What is included is a name tag sheet (w/ a number line, clocks, 3D shapes, and a multiplication chart), decimal place value chart, base 10 blocks, unit fractions, equivalent fractions, keywords for word problems, and 2D shapes.

This would be a great product to place on students' desks/tables, and to cut out and glue inside a math notebook! I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

These state testing or classroom exam themed gift tags labeled "you are so BRIGHT it's time to show what you know" are the perfect gift tags to show students some encouragement before they complete a test! Simply print and cut then attach to your gift with a hole punch and string.

Gift Idea:

These encouraging letters are meant to be sent home before and after end-of-year state testing.

Please note: You MUST USE ADOBE READER to edit the editable fields in this file (the greeting and closing fields).

These letters make it VERY CLEAR to students that their worth and value is NOT tied to test scores. Please check the preview to see what the letters contain.

You will also find a GOOGLE Slides option to send paperless letters (via email or through Google). Look at the final six pages of the FILE for instructions on digitally sending these back-to-school letters to students and parents!

PLEASE NOTE: THE BODY OF THESE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE. THERE ARE EDITABLE FIELDS IN THE GREETING, DATE AND SIGNATURE FEILDS ONLY! If you are looking for a letter with an editable body, this is NOT the product for you!!

There are TWO DIFFERENT LETTERS (one for BEFORE testing and one for AFTER testing). Each letter comes in 4 full-color border choices (as well as black-and-white versions).

If you'd like to print the letters as is, you may write in the student's name and your own signature. Just for reference, the font is Part of Me by Kimberly Geswein and the size is 17. THE BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE.

BOTH LETTERS ARE ORIGINAL! I did NOT copy a letter that I found online.

If you have any questions about this product, please ask before purchasing. If you aren't sure how to edit text boxes, I've included a page of instructions at the beginning of the product for your convenience.

Did I mention that the BODY OF THE LETTERS ARE NOT EDITABLE? :-)

Do you like to send a letter home to your parents and to your students at the beginning and the end of the year? These heart-felt letters from the teacher will surely convey your genuine passion for teaching!

This is a one page letter addressed to students to give them reassurance/motivation during the state test or any other high stakes testing. This letter explains to the students how proud you are of them regardless of the results. It goes on to explain to them how the testing only measures how much or what they learned during the school year but emphasizes the positive character traits of them that cannot be measured by a test.

This resource would be great to leave on the students desks the morning off the assessments to start the day off on a positive note or to send it home a day or two prior to the test to help take the pressure off them that may have been building up.

*Morning work or bell ringers to set an intention for the day
