Please arrange the 2008-2009 school year calendar to accommodate the legally required testing dates. There will be no waivers granted from these testing dates. Spring breaks should not occur the week after benchmark testing in order to guarantee required make-up days and shipping deadlines.

A certified person shall be available at the test site to receive and secure arriving test materials.
