Online Hawaii State Assessment (HSA)

Hawaii State Assessment
Mililani 'Ike students in grades 3, 4 and 5 will begin taking their Hawaii State Assessment next week.  Parents can help their child by:

*Avoid scheduling appointments or other events that will conflict with the testing schedule.

*Encouraging your child to do their best.  Emphasize taking the test seriously and putting forth their best effort.

*Make sure that your child is well rested.  Go to bed early and get a good night's sleep. 

*Wake your child up early enough to get ready for school without having to rush.  Rushing in the morning  adds stress to both you and your children.  Please make sure your child is in school on time - especially on the days that their class is taking the HSA.

*Have your child eat a good breakfast.  Hunger can affect your child's academic performance.

*Visit www.alohahsap.org to allow your child to practice taking a sample test.
