Instructions for ordering tests and testing day procedures will be EMAILED to registered families. Please insure that you can receive email from extraed@att.net and office@extraed.org. Please also check your "spam folder" or "bulk mail box" regularly so that you do not miss important messages.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARENT TO INSURE THAT MESSAGES ARE RECEIVED AND READ REGARDING THIS TEST. Extraordinary Education is not responsible for missed messages or mail going to spam folders.
It is important to point out that standardized testing is NOT required in Texas. We offer testing to families as a way to help parents assess their child's progress and assist them in making curriculum and course choices.
It is also important to note that the "SAT" test we will be administering is the "Stanford Achievement Test". It is NOT the same "SAT" test that students take for college entrance. That test is administered by the College Board, and it is only for high school students who are preparing for college entrance.
