2021 Afternoon Testing for Grades 3-8

We will offer 2-day group in-person testing for students in grades 3-8 at our offices.  Our testing room only accommodates 10 students, so space is VERY limited.  (For information about online or at-home testing, visit the Testing information under the Resources tab above)

PLEASE NOTE:  This is a 2-day testing process.  Your student will be required to attend BOTH testing days.

Please complete the form below to reserve your student’s participation before April 2nd.  Essential families receive a significant discount on the test administration.
