  • PSAT/MNSQT Testing Accommodation Enclosures
    ENCLOSURE 1: PSAT/NMSQT ACCOMMODATIONS PROCESS To Parents and/or Guardians of Students with Disabilities: Students with disabilities who have testing accommodations documented in an IEP or 504 Plan may be eligible for accommodations on the PSAT/NMSQT test. However, not all testing accommodations in an IEP or 504 Plan are permitted by the College Board, and not all students with Standards of Learning (SOL) testing accommodations will require these accommodations on the PSAT/NMSQT. Information about eligibility for PSAT/NMSQT testing accommodations is available on the College Board website (https://accommodations.collegeboard.org/eligibility). If the student already has College Board accommodations approved from a previous PSAT/NMSQT, SAT, or AP test, then no further action is needed. For a student to receive PSAT/NMSQT accommodations, the College Board must approve a formal request for the student. Each high school has a designated staff member who serves as the SSD (Services for Students with Disabilities) coordinator and works with the College Board to make these requests. All accommodations requests are due from the school to the College Board in August. The school may not make a request without consent from you and your student. Parents/guardians must give their input and consent to the school by August __________. Below you will find information on possible College Board testing accommodations. As you and your student consider which accommodation(s) may be appropriate for the PSAT/NMSQT, please keep in mind the following: ● the content, format, and purpose of the assessment (https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt- psat-10/inside-the-test); ● implications on overall testing time or setting for some accommodations (see notes on Enclosure 2); and ● duration of the accommodation approval (once approved, College Board accommodations must be used for all future College Board tests, including SAT and AP exams, unless a written refusal is submitted).

Click here or on the screenshot below to watch his video message. BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT 2.0 As you know, in light of this unique time of distance learning, we have laid out guiding principles for CSArts-SGV’s teachers, students, and parents. However, we understand that different teaching styles, technological access and preferences, and family responsibilities can result in different experiences and expectations across teachers’ online courses. Although we cannot host an in-person Back-to-School Night this spring, we want to ensure that the lines of communication between parents and teachers remain open. We encourage parents to virtually participate in our Back-to-School Night 2.0 by visiting the "Back-to- School Night 2.0" Google Doc and watching video presentations from teachers containing approaches to online distance learning for each of their child’s individual courses. ADVANCED PLACEMENT EXAMS The College Board plans to continue to offer Advanced Placement (AP) exams during these extraordinary times for learning and has been providing regular testing information updates on their website. Key highlights from the College Board’s plan for AP exams are included below. • AP exams (excluding portfolio exams such as AP Studio Art and AP Computer Science Principles) will all take place AT HOME and ONLINE from Monday, May 11th - Friday, May 22nd. • Most exams will be 45 minutes long and include 5 additional minutes for uploading responses.
