March 17, 2021 Important Dates: At DHHS only Juniors will be taking state mandated tests this spring. Juniors will take the SAT on Wednesday, March 24th. If school is cancelled or delayed on this date, the State has determined April 27th-28th and/or May 18th to be used as make up dates. Juniors will also be taking the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Assessment on Wednesday, April 28th. The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) adopted the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in November 2015. Students in Grades 5, 8, and 11 are required to participate in the NGSS assessment. Student score reports are scheduled to be reported in early fall of 2021. For both tests, directions for testing start at the beginning of the school day. As always please encourage your child to get a good night's sleep and to eat a healthy breakfast. Below you will find links with more information about the tests.
