The registration window in WAMS for schools to participate in paper-pencil testing instead of testing online closes on October 30th, at 5 pm.
The WAMS Test Site Registration application is designed to assist school districts and community and technical colleges in coordinating the testing of students who cannot participate at their resident school, on the school’s routine testing schedule.
‒ This can include Online School Program and Running Start students. ‒ This site is currently undergoing enhancements to allow districts to identify
sites by administration; including Winter EOC, Spring Smarter Balanced, Spring MSP, and Spring EOC.
‒ Reminder: When establishing your school’s testing schedules, they must align to the state mandated testing window. Make note of the differences in testing windows provided by the state for online and paper-pencil testing.
The registration application for students to test at an alternate site is currently being finalized. This application, like the site registration application, will allow districts or students to register by a specific test administration.
