Newton North High School457 Walnut Street, Newtonville, MA 02460(617)559-6400??May 2019??Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:?The College Board and the ACT allows students on Individual Education Plans (IEP's) and 504 Accommodation Plans to apply for special testing accommodations, for which they may be eligible to receive, for PSAT, SAT, AP, and ACT exams.? To be eligible, the College Board and the ACT require that all students applying for accommodations have a diagnosed disability, current Psychological and Achievement testing (within five years), an approved IEP or an approved 504 Accommodation Plan that has been active for at least four school months and frequent use of the requested accommodation(s) in the classroom.? In order to make this procedure as effective as possible, you need to take the following steps:?Parent/Guardian: Consult with your child's Special Education Liaison (IEP) and/or School Counselor (504) to determine if the student will require testing accommodations.??Student: If it has been decided that accommodations will be necessary for a testing session, go to the Special Education Office, Room 216, to get instructions and paperwork to bring home for completion.? Once the paperwork is complete, return the paperwork to the Special Education Office, Room 216. Please note that there are two distinct request processes for the College Board and the ACT, indicated below.??The College Board - For initial testing accommodation requests, the SSD Coordinator will process the required information online through the College Board website.? The College Board will determine what, if any, accommodations will be allowed for testing. Eligibility letters will be sent directly to those students approved for accommodations as well as the school.?For students who have been previously approved for testing accommodations, it is not necessary to reapply for the remainder of their high school years. For future testing sessions, students must include the SSD code, found in their eligibility letter, in the appropriate box to register online. To register on paper, students must include a copy of the eligibility letter. Information regarding the College Board Testing Accommodation Request Process can be found via the following website: - For initial and each subsequent testing session, students need to register online for a specific test date and follow the instructions indicated on the ACT website to request accommodations. After registration, the student will forward an email message from ACT to Patricia Leone who will then complete the remaining portions of the testing accommodation request. ACT will determine what, if any, accommodations will be allowed for testing. Eligibility letters will be sent to the school and then will be forwarded to the student. Information regarding the ACT Testing Accommodation Request Process can be found via the following website: Accommodation Application Submission Deadlines?Please note that the accommodation application process can take up to seven (7) weeks and that it is your responsibility to register for each test within the prescribed deadlines. ?The NNHS internal dates reflect the time it may take to collect the documentation and to process the applications.
