In addition, there are two alternative assessments that will be given during this testing window to those students with IEPS or 504 plans. The MEAP Access and Mi Access will be given to those qualifying students during the same schedule as above. So that each student can perform optimally, please help your child prepare by considering the following:

• Make sure your child is well rested and ready to begin the day. Testing begins very early.

• Make sure your child has a good breakfast each morning.

• Schedule any appointments for after school hours.

• If your child wears glasses, make sure he/she wears them.

• If you transport your child to school, make sure he/she arrives on time (by 7:25 a.m.).

• Do not send your child to school if he/she is ill. Arrangements will be made to test him/her at a later date.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding MEAP, MEAP Access, or MI Access, please call Mrs. Eltschlager (Assistant Principal) at 734-850-6202 or Mr. Majewski (Guidance Counselor) at 734-850-6212.
