Arizona State Testing for TUVA Students
Arizona State Testing for TUVA Students
State testing occurs once a year in the Spring. All students in grades 3-9 and 11th grades are required by the state to test in person each year. To accommodate our families, we will provide testing hubs for these state tests. Since testing takes place in person, we want to provide families ample notice to be able to make accommodations for this event.
