All of these items must be turned off and left either in the cafeteria or in the front of the exam room. Please bring pencils, pens, calculators, and other materials you will need for your exam.
Please Note: If your child is unable to access an exam, or use assigned accommodations, due to transportation issues, please contact your school counselor so that we can make appropriate arrangements.
