Students perform better on assessments when they are in their familiar setting, as opposed to testing in a makeup group with a different teacher or classroom. We encourage you to make every effort possible to have your child at school and on time on the dates listed below so that they can perform their absolute best. All testing begins in the morning and will be completed by lunch time.
