-As you can see we are already starting to prepare our students for ISAT (which will be on March 1-12). There is a lot of material to cover so you are definitely going to see some of the workbooks brought home. The only thing that we ask is that you make sure that the students work uninterrupted during the time that they are working on the prep books, it does not have to be for a specified amount of time, just quiet. Thank you in advance for your help!</td>
