Happy Administrative Professionals Day Ayda. We are grateful for your hard work and commitment to our department. Your dedication, patience, and support are greatly appreciated. Your positive attitude and laughter are contagious. We appreciate you! 💚

Our students have been working diligently to prepare for end-of-course exams, as well as for state and other assessments. We are confident that they are well prepared to demonstrate the knowledge and skills that they have acquired throughout the school year.

To uphold the integrity of the testing process and ensure fairness for all students, our district maintains high standards and enforces strict testing policies and procedures. Student work must be accurate and reflective of independent thinking. Any form of cheating is not tolerated and will result in appropriate consequences.

As part of these procedures, students are required to power off all cell phones and remove them from their possession during testing. Smart watches, Meta glasses, and other electronic devices are strictly prohibited in testing rooms. Violations of these policies may result in a test being invalidated, which can negatively impact not only the individual student but also others in the testing room as well.

We encourage students to leave these items at home on testing days or keep them stored securely in backpacks before entering the testing environment. Thank you for your cooperation in supporting a secure and successful testing experience for all students.
