Dear Parents,
Your child will be taking a district common assessment on the dates below. The test will be monitored live for virtual learning and face to face students. All students will take the test on SchoolCity. SchoolCity is an online program designed for testing. For a successful testing session:
- Students should get a good nights rest the night before their test
- In Person students should eat a healthy balanced breakfast, or come to school by 7:45am to receive breakfast from the cafeteria
Virtual students must be logged into their Alief Hub and teachers Zoom room by 8:00 am
Allow your child to complete this test independently as it will help teachers target areas of need
