AIMS Testing Protocol

As we prepare for the two week window of AIMS testing ~ April 12-23 ~ I wanted to share with you our protocol for that time period. First and most importantly please do not make any appointments for your child during this testing time frame. The rules and regulations dictate that should a student leave during the testing period they are not allowed to then complete that portion of the test. Also, having your child be at school on time is critical to being allowed into the classroom before testing begins. Should your child arrive late, they must remain out of class until that test is completed and they will then have to make up that portion missed.
In our attempt to protect the testing schedule and to provide maximum focus for all students we will not be allowing parents to volunteer, copy, assist with reading groups, Art Masterpiece, etc... to take place during the testing 2 week window.
The basics of a good night's sleep and healthy breakfast are also encouraged!!! We know and are confident our students will do an excellent job, but these little things add up to be of great support! I appreciate you joining us in doing all we can do to provide a supportive environment for our students to perform at their highest ability!
Thank you very much!
