Evacuation and the ELA

Tuesday was a chaotic day for Unqua Elementary School students.
Many were taking their English Language Arts test when they were evacuated because of a threat made against the school.
They were taken to a field behind the school, and eventually all of the students were moved to Berner Middle School where they spent a large portion of their day, returning to Unqua in time for dismissal
As disruptive as all that was, it’s also going to change the schedule for the rest of the week.
Since students were unable to finish the ELA on Tuesday, they now have to make up portions of the test on Friday.
We want to know if you think that will help or hurt our students. Let us know what you think in the comment section.
