Spring State Testing

School districts in Ohio are required to administer spring tests. Last spring testing was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This spring, however, testing will resume. No testing waivers were granted. Students are also required to test in person. We are not permitted to administer assessments remotely.

*Note: Testing dates and times are different for MODA students than in person students. Please take note of the dates and times outlined below. Check the schedule carefully because there are various times and locations for testing.

Testing Begins on Friday, April 23 for 7th grade MODA students.
