This year there is a change in how we are administering the assessments. Students will test with their homeroom teachers. Below you will see the daily schedule for these days.

  • Come to School On Time: It is important that your student is on-time to school to make sure we can start on-time. 
  • Charge laptops Every Night: Students will be testing on their laptops.
  • Plug-In Headphones: For the testing on May 14th, students need to bring a pair of plug-in headphones.  These can be over the ear or earbud style. They cannot be Bluetooth.  We will have a limited number of headphones for students to borrow.  We will accept donations if your family has any extra. Please note they do not need to be of the highest quality.
  • Good Night’s Sleep: It is helpful for students to have a good night sleep and breakfast prior to the test.  The cafeteria will be open prior to school starting for those who wish to pick up a breakfast.
