The DeKalb County School district has set the state assessment testing dates at each school for the remainder of March and April.
Director of Schools Patrick Cripps and other school administrators are asking parents to make sure their children are in the classrooms each day for the assessments.
“Our state testing provides feedback about students’ academic progress. The results help us to make informed decisions on how to better invest in our schools. All high school students will take the End of Course exams online this year,” said Director Cripps.

“All other students in our district, grades 2nd-8th, will take the paper version of the TNReady test. Additional information regarding TNReady and End of Course testing can be found on the Tennessee Department of Education website.”
