Letter to Parent/ Guardians – Successful AA Assessment

The following letter indicates that the scores obtained in the standardised assessment will provide the evidence that a student needs to be granted extra time. It's always best to communicate as early as possible. Fill in the dates on your tracker, so that you can refer to this information easily. We recommend the testing to start at the end of year 9, but no later than year 10. It's not too late to test even in year 11.
