Bax, are you sure you have those dates right? Statewide testing (that usually means the whole state does it at the same time - usually...) begins THIS Monday, April 26 and continues for the next 2 weeks. Depending on the school - mine for instance, the testing might be completely done by Oasis week. Besides, the students have until Friday the 14th to make up any tests they miss, so taking them out for a couple of days shouldn't be a big deal. I have kids that miss testing days all the time - no big whoop.

I say - bring the family, as planned!
