Hello! As a reminder, SHIELD testing begins this week. Tuesday- BRHS, Wednesday- BRIJHS, Thursday- Schneider. Students are asked not to eat or drink 60 minutes prior to testing, so we've selected a 9:30 start time for each building. With a few hundred to test in each building, we expect to be finished before lunch begins. Realistically, we anticipate being a little slow with this new process, but we're thankful to have it available, and we'll work to get better each week! Thank you. #br_u_knighted
