Good Afternoon, WMS Students & Parents......All face-to-face students in grades 6 through 8 will begin the South Carolina College and Career Ready Assessment or SC READY on Tuesday, May 11, and continue on Wednesday, May 12, and Tuesday, May 18. All iTech students will begin the same test in person at their home school on Thursday, May 13, and continue on Friday, May 14, and Thursday, May 20. In addition to SC READY, both face-to-face and iTech students in grade 6 will take the South Carolina Palmetto Assessment of State Standards or SCPASS in science on Wednesday, May 19. The Education Accountability Act mandates that every student in South Carolina must take these assessments in person. Please be sure your child gets plenty of sleep, eats a good breakfast, and arrives at school on the appropriate days and on time which is 8:00 a.m. for face-to-face students and 8:15 a.m. for iTech students. All students must bring their district-issued Chromebook with them and ensure that their Chromebook is fully charged. During testing students may not be in possession of any electronic device that can be used for communicating, recording, timing, creating images, or storing images. If brought to school, these devices will be collected by the test administrator and returned after each test session is complete. iTech students will remain at school for a minimum of two hours or until the test is completed and should bring a book with them to read following the test. Thank you for your continued support as we prepare your student for success.
