When and where should you report for the test?

How will Distance-Learning students report for testing on asynchronous Mondays?

APS transportation will be provided at the beginning and end of the day for eligible students. Please check StudentVUE (Student Info and Additional Information) for the bus stop and time. Please bring schoolwork to do as you wait for the dismissal bus.
