Don’t be late If teachers have begun reading instructions,

students will not be permitted to enter room There will be a makeup date (TBD)

Any student who refuses to test or causes a disturbance during testing will be suspended

If you must leave during a testing session to use the restroom, you will lose the time (no make up time is provided)

But the biggest rule of all………………

NO ELECTRONICS!!!!

No electronics (cell phones, iPods, etc.) permitted in room AT ALL

If any student is caught with an electronic device during testing, the student will be dismissed from the testing room, his/her score will be cancelled, and he/she will not be permitted to test on makeup day

Teachers are not permitted to collect them in the front of the room before testing – students must leave electronics at home or in locker
