Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, testing will take place in different locations within the building. Because of the logistics of safe testing, students in 9th, 10th, and 12th grade will transition to remote learning on this testing day. Teachers will virtually connect with students at home for lesson expectations. The remote learning bell schedule, linked here, will be utilized on this day.
