Assessments and Testing
Testing Schedule at James Baldwin
- Students need to be in class on time on their scheduled testing dates (all dates subject to change). Many tests start at 8 a.m. or 8:30 a.m.
- Students should be well rested and eat a healthy breakfast.
- Some tests may extend to the next day if students are not finished.
- Special Education Schedule: Students with an IEP may test on different dates to allow for accommodations and supports such as one on one or small group setting, etc. Special Education students will begin SBA testing on April 22. Check with your child’s case manager if you have questions.
- Please note that testing dates can change as the school year progresses. Teachers will inform families in their newsletters if any changes are made.
