City Schools understands that certain district assessments like i-Ready and MCAP, take place over several weeks, and some assessments may happen on observance days. If your child is absent on an observance day, they will have plenty of opportunities to complete assessments within the required timeframe once they return to school.
Schools won't schedule important assessments like final exams, unit/module tests, or quizzes on observance days. For clarity on testing dates and timeframes, speak with your school. For a list of observance days, please refer to the 2023-24 district calendar.
