Tuckta Warm Springs, Oregon are helping students meet the standards. There are two types of state tests: problem solving and multiple choice. State tests are only one method for evaluation your child's progress, but they are an important method to determine how your child's school is doing overall. Test results help show where a school is effective and where it must focus its efforts to help students achieve. As a parent you play an important role in helping your child succeed in school and on these tests. Parents who are involved in their child's education are a very significant factor in students success. Students perform better in school when they receive proper nutrition, are well rested and are regularly reminded about the importance of education.

Acts committed will be submitted on-line and be counted in the 1999 Challenge for WSE. Our school and individual students will be eligible for state and national prizes.
