Frequently Asked Questions

With support from a designated district staff member who is physically present with the student, the student joins a secure online testing session with a certified school psychologist. Test materials are presented digitally on screen, and a document camera is used so the psychologist can view any handwritten responses completed in the student’s response booklet. The in-person staff member remains with the student throughout the session to provide supervision and assist with any technical needs.
