Important reminders for all JEMS students and families:

• Please be sure that your child gets a good night’s sleep before testing. We want to ensure that they are well rested and ready.

• Students must be on time for school and must not be in possession of any electronic devices that can be used for communicating, timing, creating images, or storing images. These devices will be collected by the Test Administrator and returned after testing is complete.

• Please be sure that children eat a good breakfast on the days of testing.

• Be sure that your child comes to school with a good attitude and is prepared to do his/her best!

• Please do not schedule any doctor/dental appointments for these days.

• Once a testing session begins, students will not be allowed to be signed out until the testing session is over.
