Re: Calendar adjustments for ACT and/or SAT testing?

We do not make such adjustments at Viewpoint School.=20

We do stop school one morning to give the PSAT to our 10th and 11th grade=
s each fall and use that time to do some special Human Development work wi=
th 9th graders in the morning and all 9th-11th graders in the afternoon.=
We give 12th grade the day off to visit local colleges and work on colle=
ge apps. =20

I think, personally, that such arrangements are quite enough! =20

Best, Margaret Bowles

I am researching whether any schools adjust their academic calendar
limited classroom testing or homework, etc., around ACT or SAT
eekends). I have had an inquiry from an interested parent/board member.
Thank you for any feedback.
