MESSAGE FROM THE DISTRICT
At this time all credit-by-exams for acceleration have been postponed for the month of April since physical school buildings are closed because of Covid-19. April exams include Math placement testing for rising 5th grade students, IPC placement testing for rising 8th grader students as well as students wanting to place out of 7th and 8th grade mathematics. The district will send further communication to families once a new testing window has been determined.

We will not be using funds collected for any other purpose, and 100% of funds will go toward meals.
