HEADMASTER ANNOUNCEMENTS

ATTENTION AISA STATE BOARD MEMBERS:
The April 27, 2002, AISA State Board meeting has been changed to May 18, 2002. 

ADMINISTRATORS' WORKSHOP JUNE 10 - 13 AT HUNTINGDON COLLEGE.

IMPORTANT REMINDER CONCERNING SAT TESTING:
All headmasters, guidance counselors, and teachers in AISA are reminded of the need for careful and professional test security as we
approach the April testing date.  Be very sure that tests are kept securely locked until the day of testing, tests and answer sheets should
be collected and secured, as soon as testing concludes each day.

It is appropriate to have in-service sessions to prepare for testing.  These sessions should be used to ensure that teachers are very familiar
with the directions for administration, the procedures for testing, and with timing and other considerations.  Under no circumstances
should teachers have the actual test that students will take, except on the days the tests are administered.

Be reminded that all of us should take the necessary steps, however, to ensure that all students have been taught for mastery all skills
on which they will be tested in April.  The Compendium of Objectives, the Practice tests, and the various test-prep materials are
appropriate and necessary for use at this time.

HEADMASTERS:
Please make sure appropriate personnel have copies of information in the Academic Handbook pertaining to academic competitions,
festivals, and fairs.
