Good morning Mrs. Biden,

You should call ACT at 319.337.1270 to change the testing site location.  The high school code for  Sidwell Friends School is 09020.

Thank you!
Jackie

Good morning Mrs. Biden,

My name is Jackie Morillas and I schedule the proctors for standardized special testing.  Regarding your first question:  Maisie is approved to receive 50% extra time on all sections of her testing.  Her approval is for ‘T-6 testing’, which means she’ll have up to 5 hours to complete all the multiple-choice sections, and then an additional hour to complete the writing section (on a computer), if she’s registered for the ACT Plus Writing.

Because Maisie is now registered for "special testing,"  Sidwell should become her testing site.  You will need to call ACT to switch her testing site from Wilson to SFS.  Let me know when the change has been made and we can schedule her testing time.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions.
All the best,
Jackie

That is great.  Is it 50%  on each section or the entire test?

Maisy signed up for her ACT at Wilson in April.  What should we do to change it to Sidwell?

Thank you for your support!

Hi Maisy and Mr. and Mrs. Biden,

I hope this email finds you well! I am writing to let you know that ACT approved Maisy's request for ACT test accommodations (50% extended time and computer use). I have attached their "Decision Notification" document to this email.

Maisy's accommodations fall under ACT's category of "school-based testing," which means that her ACT testing must be administered by Sidwell. Jackie Morillas (CC'ed on this email) is in charge of scheduling school-based testing. Please reach out to Jackie to schedule Maisy's ACT test in April (and any future ACT testing, if she were to take it again).

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if there is anything that I can do to be helpful.

Warmly,
Danielle Cohn

Hi Mrs. Biden,

Sounds like a plan! Auysha and I are preparing the request now, and will notify you when we have submitted it. There is nothing else we need at this time.

Thanks!

I would say that Maisy is looking for as much support as she is able to get!  Let me know if there is something I should be doing.

Thank you!

Hi Maisy and Mr. and Mrs. Biden,

I hope this email finds you well! Auysha and I are currently preparing Maisy's request for ACT accommodations. Before completing the submission, we wanted to check in around which accommodations Maisy would like to request. Would you like to apply for both 50% extended time and computer use?

And of course, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Warmly,
Danielle Cohn
