Call Lorraine Kimmel at 541-826-3427 or email if you have any questions about registration. This number is now my cell phone. Checks should be made out to JCHE. You do not need to send money now, but please get registered, so we can reserve a test for your child.

For questions about the test, call Nancy Olson at 541-601-2257 (days) and 541- 878-4238 (evenings only). Lorraine will not be available from March 14-March 29. We are going to Israel (WOW!). Thank-you, Lord.

Just for your information, I do not deposit any checks until the last morning of testing. It makes cancellations much easier.

On Monday morning, please plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time for your test, in order to check in, get name tags, etc. If you are volunteering, allow a few extra minutes. On Tuesday, you may come 10-15 minutes before start time. If you have a first through fourth grader, please accompany them to their room and help them fill out the cover of their test booklet or answer sheet.

IF YOU PASS ON A COPY OF THE REGISTRATION FORM TO ANYONE, PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY ALSO GET A COPY OF THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY GET BOTH PAGES OF INFORMATION. THANKS!

SUPPLIES TO BRING OR NOT BRING TO TESTING Please bring scratch paper, a healthy snack & drink, several sharpened #2 pencils, a book to read, and a self- addressed, stamped business (long white #10) size envelope for each child in the family. This is a relatively new change. If you prefer, you are welcome to send the envelope(s) in with your pre-registration.
DO NOT BRING MACHINES WITH EARPHONES OR CALCULATORS to testing.

TEST RESULTS
We will mail your test results to YOU in the self-addressed, stamped envelope that you give us. YOU KEEP THE RESULTS. The copy you get is the only copy, so guard it well.☺ The ESD does NOT want the results. In fact, they may get irritated if you try to turn them in. They may request them from you in the future, however. If you decide to enroll your child in school or they are participating in sports, the school, or coach & or athletic director will want a copy of the scores. The ESD does NOT want forms for athletics. The schools require testing every year that a student wants to participate in sports or other school activities. If you have a problem or need a different form, call Nancy at (541-601-2257).

GENERAL INFORMATION
If your child will be 7 years old on this coming September 1st, he/she is NOT REQUIRED TO BE TESTED. You do
need to register each child the FIRST year that you home school them (when they turn 7 by or on September 1st). Do not re-register in subsequent years. The phone number for the Jackson ESD is 541-776-8590, if you
have questions for them.

Grades 3, 5, 8, and 10 are required to be tested by August 15th. We still recommend that you begin testing your child prior to 3rd grade. Third grade is late to discover that you have a problem that testing might have alerted you to.
We will have a childcare area for those who want to volunteer, but have children who are not testing, or moms who want to stick around.

Please remember we need to be considerate of those testing. This year, everything will be inside of the main building, so it is VERY IMPORTANT that we be as quiet as possible. There will also be a Pre-School going on at the same time. We will need to be sure not to interfere with that. Please do not smoke on church grounds.

Students need to get plenty of rest the night before testing. They will be more alert and able to concentrate better if their snack and drink is not sugary or simple carbohydrate.

SMALL GROUP TESTING
Think about how your child did last year and whether or not a large group will distract or hinder your child from showing what he/she really knows. If you decide that large group testing is not for one or more of your children, small group testers this year are: Nancy Olson (541-601-2257), Cindy Dick (541-772-4012), and Cecile Enright (541-821-6035). There are about 4-6 children testing at a time and the cost is $47.00/child.
