Proctors Needed!
Proctors are needed for the North Carolina End-of-Grade testing at Alamance Elementary School. This is a wonderful way to help out the community! Tests will be given from May 27, 2015 through June 11, 2015. The largest number of proctors will be needed on Wednesday, May 27th for ELA EOG, Thursday, May 28th for Math EOG, and June 2nd-5th for Science EOG and Read to Achieve. Testing begins in the morning around 8:00 a.m. and depending on which test is given, proctor duties are completed by mid-day. A proctor training session will be given each day before testing as well as in advance of the testing dates. If you are interested in volunteering as a proctor on any of those days, please contact Dacia Quate at Alamance Elementary; 697-3177 or email Mrs. Quate at quated@gcsnc.com or leave Mrs. Quate a message with Mrs. Long, Mrs. Towle, or Mrs. Standridge. Thanks in advance for your help!!
