It will start promptly at 8:32
There will not be a late testing room so if your student is later than 10 minutes they may not be able to test due to where the proctor is in the testing process.
Students need to bring the following on testing day:
**Two No. 2 pencils with soft erasers: no pens or mechanical pencils
**Acceptable calculator-All TA teachers received the acceptable list to share today, Monday, October 8, with students.
If wanted, snack and water to eat and drink during breaks.
Please do not hesitate to contact school administration for questions, concerns, or frustrations. We can think, be, and learn more as we work together to continually improve.
Go Highland Rams!
