ATTENDANCE FOR TESTING

Before all testing, including retake windows, Ms. Naughton excuses each student on HAC by coding the periods students are to be testing with TB (Testing Elsewhere in Building). This shows teachers the day of testing that they are with her testing in the building. If a student does not report for testing they will be marked as Unexcused.

If students were in class, rather than in testing, students will need to have the teacher from each period the student was marked absent to either email Ms. Naughton or write a note which the student brings to Ms. Naughton stating that the student was in class. Once that is received the Unexcused will be removed.
