Important Information about EOG/EOC Testing:

  • Students are expected to bring their charged Wake County Chromebooks and their charger on testing days. All testing will be online and personal computers are not permitted.
  • We are not permitted to interrupt the testing setting and are not able to check students out until school-wide testing ends at approximately 12:30 each day. This includes all students on campus, even if they are not testing that day.   
  • As you are planning appointments for your child in the coming weeks, you will want to consult the testing schedule. 
  • Fitbits, Apple Watches, airpods and smart devices and watches are not permitted in the testing room.  Have students keep these items at home during testing.
  • Cell phones must be turned off and put away for the entirety of the testing session

 

EOG/EOC Testing News:  Students will be taking EOG/EOC tests from May 30 – June 5.  Make ups will continue after June 5 if needed. 

Retesting for students who do not earn a proficient score on the EOG will be on Monday, June 12 (Reading) and Tuesday, June 13 (Math).  

Each student will receive their personalized testing schedule with day/date, subject tested and room numbers on Tuesday, May 23 during 1st period.  We recommend students slip this into their Chromebook case so they can access it during testing week.
