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.

MEAP Access, or MI Access, please call Mrs. Eltschlager (Assistant Principal)
