• All services are conducted online via Zoom.
• Parents are responsible for ensuring a quiet, distraction-free testing environment.
• Students should arrive on time with their device charged and functioning.
• Parents must remain nearby but off-camera unless instructed otherwise.

To ensure a valid and secure testing experience, families must meet the following technology requirements:

1. Approved Devices
Students must use a laptop or desktop computer (Windows, Mac, or Chromebook). These devices provide the stability and visibility required for live proctoring.

2. Unsupported Devices
iPads, tablets, and mobile phones are not supported. These devices cannot maintain the required camera view during testing and do not meet proctoring standards.

3. Camera Requirement
A functioning camera is required and must remain on for the entire session. Students must remain visible on screen for monitoring and verification, as required by test publishers and Step Up guidelines.

4. Microphone Requirement
A working microphone must be enabled so the test administrator can communicate with the student as needed.

5. Internet & Browser
A stable internet connection is required. The Chrome browser is strongly recommended for best performance.

6. One Device Only
Students may use one device only during testing. No additional devices (phones, tablets, secondary computers) may be nearby, used, or opened during the session.

7. Lighting & Environment
The student must sit in a well-lit, distraction-free area where their face is clearly visible.
