Building testing schedules must be sent to Jacqueline Rodriguez, jacqueline.rodriguez@kckps.org, for in-person testing. The testing schedule template can be accessed through this link or the testing protocol document found here. Check with staff at the end of each testing day that they have sent the KELPA-p calculator to Dasiel Saurez, dasel.saurez@kckps.org.
