We wanted to share with you that Morningside E.S. will be testing students online during our upcoming spring administration of the Georgia Milestones End-of-Grade (EOG) administration. The information below is provided to assist you and your student in becoming familiar with the features of online testing.
A website, called Experience Online Testing Georgia , has been established to provide an opportunity for students to become familiar with the online testing platform. The website can be found at the link that follows http://www.gaexperienceonline.com/. This practice site does not require a login and is available 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Importantly, this practice site is not designed as a “practice test” to measure a student’s knowledge of course content and scores will not be generated. Again, it is intended to allow students to familiarize themselves with the online platform prior to testing.
Students have had the opportunity to participate in practice sessions during the school day to better acquaint themselves with the online testing system.
If you have questions about our upcoming spring test administrations for Georgia Milestones, please contact Paul Lister , Assistant Principal at 404-802-8964
