Dear Grade 8 Parents/Guardians and Students,
As I am sure you are aware, the NYCDOE is having eighth-grade students take the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) in their home middle schools (including K-8 schools). If your grade 8 child is taking the SHSAT on Wednesday, January 27th, s/he must arrive at the school at 8:10 AM. These students will enter at this time through ENTRANCE #5, from the schoolyard. Daily Health Screenings (required for all staff, students and visitors to enter a DOE building) will be collected and/or conducted before entry. To access and complete it at home before arrival: https://healthscreening.schools.nyc/ Standard administration time is 180 minutes to complete the test. We expect that the standard end time for our test site will be approximately 11:45 AM. Students may only leave as directed by the proctor, and under no circumstances may students be dismissed prior to the end of the 180-minute testing period. We have less than ten students that receive a testing accommodation of extended time (2x). Students with an extended time accommodation may leave at any time after the standard 180-minute testing period and after they have finished working on the test. Before the student leaves, s/he will have to sign the Extended Time Student Sign-Out Sheet. Please use the attached permission form to allow your child to be dismissed at the conclusion of the SHSAT testing period.
