PARCC Testing Times by Grade Thank you for working to ensure students are present during assessment periods by rescheduling avoidable absences. This means that orthodontist appointments, checkups, and other similar tasks should be scheduled outside of the regular school day. If you already know your child will be absent for any part of the testing window, please contact his or her school counselor immediately. Thank you.
