Dear MS Parents,

Next week your middle school student will take the End of Grade (EOG) tests. While school will operate on a REGULAR SCHEDULE (8:00am – 2:00pm) on these dates, it is PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT that your child arrives to school on time each of the following days:
  • May 18- Math (Grades 5,6,7,8)
  • May 20- Reading (Grades 5,6,7,8)
  • May 21- Science (Grades 5 & 8 only)

LNC prides itself on providing ALL students with conditions most conducive to successful testing. This is a vital part of providing a fair opportunity for EVERY student to perform his or her best. Please understand that students WILL NOT be allowed to check out of school prior to the end of the testing session. That said, if you anticipate the need to check your student out early on any of these 3 dates, PLEASE plan to take advantage of the EOG test make-up sessions, which will be offered as needed on the following dates:
  • May 19 - Math (Grades 5,6,7,8)
  • May 24 - Reading (Grades 5,6,7,8)
  • May 25 - Science (Grades 5 & 8 only)

Given the fact that our students do not have access to lockers, please make note of the following important points of emphasis for EOG testing this year. Please have a conversation with your student about their personal belongings, especially personal electronic devices.
  • Please ensure that your student brings their FULLY CHARGED iPad and two #2 pencils to school each day of testing. We ask that your student bring only what they need in order to complete testing on test days. Students should be able to store all personal belongings under their seat in the test room as lockers are not currently in use.
  • If your student brings any electronic device, such as a cell phone, on testing days, it is imperative that they comply with the test administrator's instructions to power OFF the device and turn it in promptly to the test administrator upon entry to the testing room. Per State Policy, any student found in possession of a cell phone/electronic device during testing WILL BE DISMISSED and a test misadministration declared. This is 100% preventable and per LNC policy, a disruption of this nature would be a Class III offense. Any student who is responsible for a disruption of this nature should anticipate maximum consequences. ALL devices will be returned to students following the testing session.  

As always, to best prepare your student for success, please be certain that your student(s) eat a nutritious dinner and get a good night's sleep as well as a complete breakfast on each morning of testing.

Thank you for your support and Go Knights!
