· Students must complete the assessment online in Schoolnet in a computer lab (per recommendation of technology) unless pre-arrangements have been made with your school administrator. Therefore, students will need to know their username and password (it is the same for logging on to the Kyrene system as well as logging in to Schoolnet).
· All students must complete the assessment independently.
· The test is not timed. However, the test should take about an hour. Students should be able to complete each part of the assessment according to the timeline your school has established. Allow time for giving directions. If a student goes over the time allotted, Schoolnet will not shut the student out and the student should continue taking the assessment.
· If a student has extenuating circumstances (for example, a student is sick and goes home) and needs to complete the test on another day, please fill out the form available on the Kyrene Summative Teacher Directions webpage (you must be signed in to the website). Click on Resuming/ deleting student assessment request. Otherwise, the test should be finished within the testing period established by your school.
· Students must log off the computer after submitting the assessment. Please ask students to bring a book to read for when they are finished or have an independent activity ready for them.
· Teachers are responsible for actively monitoring during the test, but cannot help students with the problems. Accommodations outlined in IEPs and 504s should be followed.
· The assessment should be taken in one session without breaks.
