Proctors Needed!

• Proctors Needed! - During the time in which our students take the End-of-Grade Tests, we are required to have an additional adult in every classroom.  We need approximately 40 volunteers on each of our testing days...June 4th, 5th, and 6th.  Proctors help pass out testing supplies and monitor students during testing.  There is a brief training session prior to proctoring in a classroom, and you will need to be available for about 4 hours (8am-12pm).  Parents are not allowed to proctor in their child's classroom, and proctors must be 18 years of age or older and out of high school.  If you are available and would like to help our school in this way, please click on this link or contact the school at 704-476-8340.  You may volunteer for only one test date, or as many as works with your schedule.  Thank you in advance for your support!
