Testing
Regular attendance has a direct influence on student achievement. That's why it is important that students be in school every day, and especially on test days. Attendance on test days gives students an opportunity to show what they know, providing teachers with important information about each student's learning. Below is a list of dates when Gwinnett students will take national, state, and system assessments during the 2012–13 school year. While these days have been set aside for test administration, it is important to remember that only a small amount of time— ranging from as little as one hour up to two hours— is actually spent testing on a given day. Please use this for reference when planning appointments or time away from school.
