Testing Schedule is attached to this email. The purple highlighted periods are the testing
periods, but students can work on their tests all day and will be moved to the library if they
need more time to do their best.
We will have one lunch for both schools on testing days so students might want to bring
a snack in case the lines are long. Students who are absent on testing days will need to make
up their test next week.
Students are encouraged to get a good night’s sleep and eat a nutritious breakfast
every morning prior to testing. We encourage students to do their best on the AZ Merit Tests!
