ALL BOUNDERS...

Stanford Testing, New Parent/Guardian Orientation & Summer 2009 Reunion
All Bounders are required by our funding source, the US Department of Education, to complete a standardized achievement test each year. This test is used to demonstrate academic growth from one year to the next and for summer course placement.

Testing will be offered on the primary date of Saturday, October 31st. Registration will begin at 8:30 am and testing will run from 9:00 am to approx. 12:30 pm. Snacks will be provided. Students who participated in the summer 2009 program are encouraged to select this date as the summer reunion will immediately follow. New Bounders are also encouraged to select this date as a parent/guardian information session about TRiO Upward Bound will be held simultaneously, thus eliminating trips back and forth to campus that morning for families.

If you are unable to attend the primary test date, you may instead register for Sunday, November 1, 2009 with a registration at 12:30 pm and testing from approx. 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm. New Bounders selecting this date will require a home visit if their families are unable to attend the Saturday Orientation session.
