had a healthy breakfast.
● Per normal protocol, cell phones will remain off and in bookbags
during testing. NO ELECTRONICS ARE ALLOWED AT ALL DURING
TESTING. Smartwatches and bluetooth earbuds will also need to be
removed and placed in bookbags. If possible, keep these items at
home during our testing days.

Parents and Guardians:
All public school students, grades three through eight, are required to participate in the SC READY Assessments or SC Alternative Assessments for students with significant cognitive disabilities.
No preparation on your part is required for this, except to encourage your child to have a great night of sleep, to do their best on the test, and to be at school on time for all testing days. We will make every effort to make sure they have a good breakfast at school.
During testing, students will not be allowed to wear smartwatches or to have any cellular devices. Students are encouraged to dress for success.
Please look at the flyer for testing dates!
Your child needs to be present and on time each testing day. Testing will take place during the regular school day and will begin after student arrival each morning. Students can not be signed out during the testing period.
Please reach out to your child’s teacher or Mrs. Bauer if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Amanda Bauer Cindy Bise
