  8. Food and Bathroom Visits • No food or drink is allowed in the room during testing. • You can only eat and drink during break. • So take any of your food and drinks out of your school bag and put it under your desk as well, so it is there to grab during the common break time. • During testing, only emergency bathroom visits are allowed. • You have to be escorted by another teacher or one of the principals to the bathroom as all students are required to be kept in the “line of sight” of their Keystone Exam proctor or another educator. • Bathroom visits are to be done during the common break time.
