Student and Family Expectations

 
  • Families will place all testing dates on their family calendar and will not schedule vacations, doctor appointments, etc. on testing weeks.
  • Families will confirm testing locations through Testing Nirvana for each in-person test administration.
  • Students will be scheduled to the closest testing site to them and take all exams at the same site for that administration.
  • If the site is filled and rescheduling of testing times and/or dates is needed, families will work with their homeroom teacher/CFA to reschedule.
  • Students will arrive on time and ready to begin their assessments on the date(s) for which they have been scheduled.
  • Families may not wait inside the testing rooms. Most sites have a common area where families can wait, but no one other than staff or testing students are allowed in the testing rooms.
