8. Two weeks before testing:

   • run "Students not in sessions" report (all students need to be in a session to be able to test)

   • good idea to check student roster in sessions (yes, it's time consuming but will save you from scrambling on day of testing)

   • Prepare test sessions THEN Print out student tickets for Test Administrators and make sure they have a script 

   • Optional: Print out Math reference sheets for 5th-8th grade (students get it electronically in the test)

   • Security Agreement Form needs to be signed by all helping with testing (saved for 3 years)

9. Work out the Chain of Custody for secure documents with your Principal or Assistant Principal(primarily how to handle scratch paper and test tickets-these are considered secure testing materials that need to be shredded at the end of testing)
