State Testing Updates
Proctors, please make sure you are answering emails from your site lead in a prompt manner and are helping with any tasks assigned by the lead. Site leads will also need support reaching any families that have not confirmed.
NWEA Updates
Our NWEA plan is set to have our boot camps in April and official NWEA testing starting the week of May 2nd. An Outlook appointment has be sent with all the details for the week of the 2nd including specific times. Our goal will be to review scores as soon as they become available and retest the week of May 2nd if possible.
We will have our FAST team and NR Support to help with tracking down students for make-ups and proctoring those make-up testing sessions. They can also help with retests if needed as well.
