TN Ready Message to Parents

We will begin TNReady testing on Monday, April 17th and will conclude on Friday, April 28th. Students who are enrolled in English I, English II, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, US History, and Biology courses will take a TNReady End of Course assessment. Testing will primarily take place first thing in the morning and will last (for most students) until lunchtime. We do have specific procedures regarding technology and personal materials that we wanted to share with you and ask for your support in the implementation of these procedures.

1) Students will not be allowed to have their cell phones in the classroom or in their possession during testing. We have been instructed to collect all cell phones/smart watches/headphones/and earbuds/etc in an individual envelope that is personalized for your student. The aforementioned electronic devices will be secured for the duration of the testing window and returned to students once testing has concluded.

2) Students will have access to their water bottles (if they bring their own) during breaks. These will be housed on counters within the classroom.

3) TNReady assessments will be given through a testing application on your student’s laptop. Please make sure that your student’s laptop is fully charged each night.

4) Testing starts at 7:30 AM. Please make sure that your student has a good night’s sleep, eats breakfast, and is at school by 7:25 AM.

VERY IMPORTANT: In order to ensure a secure testing environment, we will NOT dismiss students who are taking an End of Course exam during the exam period. Please plan appointments and dismissals for after lunchtime during this two-week window.

Please take a moment to partner with us and discuss these expectations with your students as well. In this manner, we can ensure that testing goes smoothly for all students.
