(Most) State Testing Delayed Until Fall 2021

The state of Illinois is in the process of granting waivers to delay nearly all of our state assessments to the Fall of next year. Students will be taking the 2020-2021 state assessments at that time for their 2020-21 grade level. The state has not released more details, but when they do we will be sure to share!    

There are two (2) tests that will be administered this Spring-

*SAT for our Juniors will be held on-site on Tuesday, April 13th. This will shift to an asynchronous day for our high schoolers in grades 9, 10, and 12

*ACCESS testing will be administered to our EL students

Tips for Live Streaming Quarantine Students

 Guidelines for Live Streaming Quarantine Students

• Begin live stream no later than 24 hours into quarantine
• Teachers should make their best efforts to not show quarantine students on the computer, please try to face the computer screen away from the in-person students view
• Live Streamed students are required to live stream into the whole class experience this does not guarantee small group discussion and interactions
• We would not recommend in-person students logging onto the live stream for breakout room engagement
• Any teacher that has a quarantine student will need to check out equipment from the point area (office or LRC, ask at your school).  We will make every attempt to not have to share equipment between periods.  Currently each K-5 school will have 15 cameras to check out, Middle and High School will begin with 30 to check out
• It is the Teacher's responsibility to return the camera to the check out area at the end of the student's quarantine time
