The days that we will be testing on will be Tuesday, April 18 and Thursday, April 20. For non-testers, they will be on a frozen period block schedule. 

“On Tuesday, non testers will be going to their first and their third period,” Zuniga said. “They will stay in their first In the morning and go to their third in the afternoon. On Thursday, they will go to their second and fourth period for the same amount of time.”  

Students get sent emails a week or so prior to the test date to alert them of the upcoming test. 

“My teacher told us to check our emails and I had gotten a message telling me where my test was going to be and what I should like to bring,” freshman Marco Montoya said.
