FYI
- If you are a middle school teacher but teach a high school course, you must follow the high school guidelines to administer the assessment. Students must be given 80 minutes to complete the test.
- For questions about your school's specific testing calendar/arrangements, contact your school's TESTING COORDINATOR. In most schools the testing coordinator is an Assistant Principal or a Learning Design Coach.
In the Spotlight
