AACPS 2018 – 2019 Grades 6-8 Assessment Calendar

The multi-day windows allow schools and team flexibility in determining which day of the window to give a district assessment. The middle school mathematics assessments will be 45 minutes and must be administered within one class period. The other district assessments may be given over more than one consecutive day, but may not last more than 1 hour in total for each pencil/paper or online assessment. Performance-based assessments may last more than 1 day.
