The test dates are as follows:

Tuesday, April 23rd - Algebra 1
Wednesday, April 24th - Biology and US History *
(* indicates a late arrival day for all students not testing. Arrival time is 12:15 pm.

Students will need to bring their district-issued Chromebook fully charged on test day.
Students will be released when testing is completed and will return to their normal school schedule. (Students with CTE classes who have missed the bus by the time they complete the test, will remain in the testing room until their next class unless they have their own transportation.)
