Testing

All students are asked to regularly check their school email. You will receive specific information about tests you need to take sent directly to your email with instructions about when and where to report. Volusia Live and VOL students will also check their Volusia County email for directions.

• Once seated students may remove their face covering if they choose to
• If a student must stand for any reason they must put their face covering back on

Algebra 1 EOC

Students may choose to not take the Alg 1 EOC and take an alternate test to receive a concordant score (see info below). Students choosing to do this are doing so with the understanding that they are responsible for making this decision and are required to fulfill all graduation requirements before the date of graduation.

• Students who took Algebra 1 or Algebra 1B last year had the EOC waived due to the cancellation of spring testing.  The state waiver was for the 30% calculation of the final grade, not the math testing graduation requirement.  To meet this requirement students must pass the Algebra 1 EOC with a Level 3 or higher or meet one of the comparative math scores on the PSAT, SAT, ACT or PERT (only the 12^th-grade cohort is eligible to use PERT).
