What do I, the classroom teacher, need to know and to do? • Check the schedule emailed before the testing begins for students you teach. • On a testing day, if a student is pulled from your class, send them promptly to the test area at the scheduled time. • If a student is missing from your class check for the STUDENT’S name on the list. They may be still testing even though not pulled from your class. • Please allow testing students appropriate time to make up missed work while out for testing.
