Napoleon Community Schools issued the following announcement on Sept. 14.
The US Dept. of Education has required states to offer Fall testing to all families. This testing is not required of your student and there are no accountability measures for the school. Michigan Department of Education will still mandate SPRING testing for 9-11 grades, regardless if students test in the FALL. (meaning double-testing for students that elect to test in the Fall).
In order to make arrangements for the offered testing, we need to have any families that would like their high school student to participate in the tests outlined below, please fill out the bottom of this form and return ONLY THE BOTTOM to the main high school office by September 21, 2020.
Grade Level Test Name Test Date Approximate time to take Standard test
9 PSAT 9 10/7 (Wednesday) 2 hours & 45 minutes
10 PSAT/NMSQT 10/14 (Wednesday) 2 hours & 45 minutes
11 PSAT/NMSQT 10/14 (Wednesday) 2 hours & 45 minutes
12 SAT w/ Essay 10/14 (Wednesday) 4 hours
(NMSQT = National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test)
*Note: many colleges have waived SAT requirements for enrollment due to COVID-19.
If you do NOT wish your student to take these assessments, you do not need to return the form.
