There is even a sample letter to send out to parents!

Enrollment Guidelines

Administering the Test:
Teachers of French may not monitor their own students during the test, but may swap with another teacher and monitor his/her students.

After the Test is Administered:
Teachers must mail in their answer sheets the day that the test is administered on your campus. They cannot be kept until a later time.

Only original answer sheets will be scored. No photocopies will be accepted. No previous answer sheets will be machine scored. Make sure that all exam answer sheets are turned the same way and that no paper clips or staples are used. You do not need to separate by level or division.
