As you hopefully know by now, per the state department testing mandate, we will lock down like we did in the Spring to administer Scantron to grades 3-5 the week of September 10th. We attended a testing meeting last week and received more details about fall testing. Basically, it will look like it did in the spring.
· We will test Tuesday, 9/11, through Thursday, 9/13, with Friday, 9/14 and Monday, 9/17 used as make up testing days.
· Everyone (including kindergarten through 2nd grade teachers and instructional aides) needs to attend mandatory testing training during collaboration time this Thursday.
· ALL Chromebooks must be turned in on Thursday, 9/6. Chromebooks in carts must be plugged in and in numerical order. Standalone Chromebooks should include a piece of masking tape with teacher name and have the plug included. Chromebooks need to be taken to the Collaboration/PD room on the north campus. Please adjust your plans accordingly for testing week. Chromebooks will be in lock down mode beginning Friday morning, 9/7, through Thursday afternoon, 9/13. You should be able to use most of your Chromebooks again on Friday, 9/14 or Monday 9/17.
· Due to the necessity for specialists and instructional aides to be involved in testing, we will have an alternate schedule for the week of testing. I know this is not ideal as we all are just beginning to get into a routine. We are still working on the schedule for that week and will have everything to you by the Monday of testing week.
Our tentative testing schedule is as follows:
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we are following what we have to do in order to comply with state testing guidelines. You will receive more details and be trained during our collaboration time on Thursday.
