Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers,
Starting tomorrow, April 26, 2022 NLRMS 7th-8th-grade campus will start our yearly state testing for the 2021-2022 school year. Below you will find helpful information that can be used as a tool of reference.
Students will not be allowed to wear hoodies while being tested. This also means they will not be able to wear them into the testing room.
Helpful Information about Testing
Students need to get a good night's rest each night.
Students need to be at school on time.
Students will need to go to the cafeteria for breakfast if they didn't eat before getting to school.
Attendance will be taken daily as the students rotate through their daily schedule throughout the testing week.
Students need to know you believe in them and that they will do great on the ACT Aspire.
Students might want to leave their electronic devices at the house during testing because they will not be allowed to have any electronic devices in the classroom during testing. (smartphones, earbuds, smartwatches, phones, tablets, etc.)
Students that bring devices to the NLRMS 7/8 Campus will have to power off the devices and check them in with their testing teacher. Devices will be given back to the students once daily testing is over.
If you are planning on checking your child out after testing then the following items will be needed:
Photo Identification matching the name of the person listed on the student's profile to check the student out. (students will not be allowed to check out or leave with anyone if proper identification requirements aren't met.
Parents will not be able to check students out during our daily testing blocks.
Students that are not testing will have to have a signed permission slip form in order to participate in the fun activities scheduled for those non-testing days.

This is a follow up to communication about dismissal procedures for our middle and high school students and staff.
We will release all middle school students and staff at this time. Because of the delayed release, this will cause buses to arrive at the high school about thirty minutes later than normal dismissal time. However, high school will dismiss on time.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as the safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.
