Parent: My child missed their testing appointment. I would like to schedule a make-up.
Me: I am very sorry, but your child cannot be tested at this time.
Parent: Why not?
Me: The testing window closed two weeks ago. The district sets the dates of the testing window, and once it closes, we cannot test anyone.
Parent: What does that mean?
Me: It means your child will not be tested.
In this particular case, the parent had scheduled testing when they submitted their application. The parent chose the testing date. The request of a make-up happened six weeks after the scheduled testing date. By that time, the district had completed testing and all tests had been submitted to the testing company for scoring. There was literally nothing that could be done for this parent.
