[Nfbnet-members-list] Needed ASAP: Students at Schools Participating in PARCC Field Testing

[Yingling, Valerie]

Dear parents,

NFB is currently investigating the accessibility features available 
for the spring 2014 PARCC Field Tests.  School districts were 
notified in September 2013 whether or not they would be included in 
the testing.  If your child is scheduled to participate in either the 
PARCC Performance-Based Assessment or End-of-Year Assessment, NFB 
needs to hear from you.

Please call Valerie Yingling, paralegal, at 410-659-9314 x 2440 by 
Thursday, December 5th if your child will participate in the 
testing.  If you are unsure of whether or not your child will be 
involved, ask your school's principal.  If your child will not be 
included in the testing because accessible test features will not be 
available, please, also call Valerie Yingling.

PARCC field tests will be conducted in the following states and 
district:  Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, District of Columbia, 
Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, 
New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Tennessee.
