Dear NPS Families,
During the week of April 12, grades 9-10 will participate in the following assessments: PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10 and NGSS (grade 11). The PSATs will be administered via paper, but the NGSS test will be administered digitally, so if you have an 11th grader, please have them bring their school-issued laptop or Chromebook, charged and ready to go! They should also bring their charger in case it's needed. When students are not testing, they will remain home for the day and work independently on school assignments posted in Google Classroom.
For Test-Takers
Buses will pick up test-takers at their regular time in the morning.
Buses home will not be available for students who receive testing accommodations. Students who have extended time will be provided with a Wheels Bus token or will be asked to arrange for transportation home from school.
Lunch will be available after testing wraps up and buses will leave from school at 12:15.
Non Test-Takers
All students who are not taking the PSAT or NGSS will remain at home, working independently on assignments for class from 7:30-12:45. From 12:45-2:15, all students will be able to attend pre-scheduled conferences with their teachers.
