In your correspondence, please include your child's name, grade level and the assessments they will not be participating in.

On the days listed below, all students participating in the in-person instructional model should report to their school and first period classes at the normal time. Once attendance has been taken, students participating in the NYS Assessments will be asked to report to the designated testing site for the duration of the test.
