Registration will be open from 12/1/2025 to 1/09/2026 by 12:00 PM. We will send out an email with a Google Form link attached to register on 12/1/2025. Once registration closes on 1/09/2026, we are unable to add students. Testing licenses must be purchased in advance, so late registrations cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
TESTING LOCATIONS: Students must test at their school site, unless they are in grades 4–7. Students in grades 4–7 will take the test on Saturday, 2/7/2026, at Maidu Elementary starting at 9:00 AM. There will only be one testing time window held on the Saturday session.
If your student is sick on the day of testing, please do not send them to school. We also ask that if your student is out sick, please do not bring them to test. We will offer a makeup test the following week: the date is to be determined.
