ACT and PreACT
There will be no testing on April 7th and the district is still working with ACT to determine if there will be an alternate testing option. We will update families and staff as soon as we have more information.
AP Testing
Traditional face-to-face AP exam administrations will not take place. Instead, students will take a 45-minute online free-response exam at home. The online, at-home AP Exams will not include any multiple-choice questions, only free-response questions adapted for secure testing at home. For each AP subject, there will be two different testing dates. The full exam schedule, specific free-response question types on each AP Exam, and additional testing information will be available by April 3, 2020. Students approved for testing with accommodations will be able to use them on the exam. You can learn more here: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/about-ap/news-changes/coronavirus-update
MCA Testing
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced on March 20, 2020, students impacted by school closures due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic can bypass standardized statewide assessments for the 2019–20 school year. The U.S. Department of Education has made a waiver process available to any state that is unable to assess its students due to the ongoing national emergency. Minnesota has submitted a formal request for a waiver. Testing is on hold indefinitely until we have heard from the U.S. Dept. of Education if the waiver has been approved.
