What to do on test day-
Students should plan to arrive at school no later than 7:45 AM. Testing begins promptly at 8 AM.
Students will be provided a complimentary light breakfast and a snack for test day. Students should plan to bring a bottle of water.
After students complete their assessments, we will continue with a regularly scheduled school day.
Tips for all students testing-
Students should arrive on time to school and be sure to get a good night's sleep prior to testing day.
Students may not have any type of electronic device during testing. This includes any type of fitness watch, smartwatch, or recording/communication device. Students must leave these devices at home or place them in their lockers for the entire testing process. Devices will not be permitted for use during breaks.
The school will provide a snack and water or juice for testing days. Students may bring additional snacks or water with them but these must remain in a designated space outside of the testing area.
Students may not bring backpacks or any additional items with them to the testing space.
Additional information-
- Please make sure your child brings their Chromebook fully charged for their M-Step testing dates.
- Every student needs wired headphones (non-wireless). If your child has a pair, please ask they bring these to the testing sessions. If they do not have headphones, the school will provide them. Thank you for your help.
We hope to encourage a positive testing experience for all of our Columbia Central students. Please take care and let me know if you have any questions.
