STAR Testing - Next Week!



Everyone should have received a letter from the Visions office concerning your testing site and the tests you are scheduled to take. Please contact me if you have questions!

Most of you will be testing only one day. Depending on how many tests you are scheduled to take you may have to come back the second day. Usually 9-12 students do not need to test on the third day unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Each student is different. Each student will be taking tests depending on his or her current course schedule.  Please understand that students will need some flexibility regarding pick-up and what time they will be finished.

Good luck! Do your best. If you are testing at the Concord site, I will see you there.

Visions has created a site with some tools to help you prepare. Visit https://sites.google.com/a/viedu.org/visionsstarsupport/ to check it out.
