When materials such as pencils, scratch paper, calculators, or test tickets are clearly stored and easily accessible, students spend less time searching for supplies and more time focused on the assessment. This reduces interruptions and preserves valuable testing time.\r\n\r\nSecond, organizers and labeled storage support predictability and routine, which is especially important during high-stakes testing. A consistent setup helps students know exactly where to find what they need, lowering anxiety and increasing confidence. For many students, particularly younger learners or those who struggle with executive functioning, this structure helps them feel prepared and in control.","fullyFundedDate":1757526708039,"projectUrl":"project/ensuring-readiness-state-testing-suppli/9440394/","projectTitle":"Ensuring Readiness: State Testing Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Price","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8571571"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_34875","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":400,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":17,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":27,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":55.7,"schoolId":34875,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Oceanair Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Oceanair Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/norfolk-public-schools/oceanair-elementary-school/34875"}
