We know that planning ahead is important for parents and families, so we wanted to make sure you have the Ohio State Testing days to plan around for any upcoming appointments you may need to make. The testing dates are April 9th and 10th for ELA, April 15th and 17th for Math, and April 23rd for Science (Science is for 8th grade only).
