Due to the testing schedule, we will be blocking off the north first floor hallways, as well as shutting off the 11:16 and 11:20 bells on the two days of testing. Students are also reminded to bring their iPads fully charged to school for testing. Good luck Redbirds, rock NSCAS!
· iPad Fact: When you turn your iPad in at the end of the school year, you must have an Apple charging block and cord to turn in as well. Make sure you are keeping track of these! If you have lost yours, you must purchase a replacement on your own. If you have any questions you can ask Mrs. Newman.
