IMPORTANT NOTES FOR NC HOMESCHOOLS

First, DNPE now allows testing any time during your school year. Visit our NC page for details.

Second, we get many requests related to concerns about the June 30 "deadline" for test scores to be on file or mailed. It is not necessary to spend extra money for rush testing and fast scoring. This excerpt is taken directly from DNPE's web site:

"Send results to DNPE?  Only if you received a letter of invitation to do so from DNPE this past August.  Consult that letter for all the details and do not attach address or telephone number changes in the same envelope with them.  Otherwise, simply keep the student achievement test result and attendance records at your home for at least one year after the date of testing.  If DNPE doesn’t ask to see them during that one year period, you will have satisfied the North Carolina law regarding the DNPE inspection of these student records.  If the test company scoring your child's test does not provide the test scores to you in time to meet the June 30 DNPE postmark mail-in deadline, simply hold the completed student attendance records until the test results arrive from the company. Then, send both items together to DNPE per instructions given in your August invitation letter.  There is no need for you (or the test company) to notify DNPE about the mail-in delay."

Please help us keep Rapid Response Scoring available and affordable by using it only when truly necessary, such as emergency entrance to public schools or court cases.
