eCADEMY K8 Testing

Our annual testing for all 3rd through 8th graders begins in late March. I wanted to share the key details so you can start planning and reserving the dates. 

We need all students to attend for testing as we need to have 95% participation. We know the only way students attend for testing is by families bringing them and picking them up each day. We appreciate your cooperation with this and promise to make it as easy as possible for you.

Here are some of the most important things to know: 

• All testing is at Berna Facio Professsional Development Center at 3315 Louisiana Blvd NE. 
• Students test with their Advocacy teachers (middle school) and homeroom teachers (elementary).
• Principals supervise testing each day. 
• Students should bring their fully charged Chromebook. 
• No backpacks or cell phones are allowed. 
• Please feed your child breakfast before arriving.
• Bring your picture ID. Students are signed in and out each morning by parent/guardians or emergency contacts.
• Please update your Emergency Contacts in ParentVUE if you need to.
• Please send your student with a book to read if they finish testing early.
• If you have any questions about your student’s medical condition and testing, please contact school nurse Julia Blog at Julia.eckert@aps.edu
• We will have a school nurse on site for testing.
• If students test all day, they are provided a school lunch. You may send your child with a lunch from home on those days, if you prefer.
• For lunches, if your child has qualified for free or reduced lunch, you will be charged or not accordingly. If your child does not qualify for free or reduced lunch, lunch will billed to the family for $3.00 per meal.
• All families can fill out the free or reduced lunch eligibility form at https://family.titank12.com/?identifier=ZNE5WR
