All students in grades 3-8 The 2012 Maryland School Assessment (MSA) testing is scheduled for March 13-14 and March 20-21 in Wicomico County Schools for all students in grades 3-8. Testing will be on March 13-14 for MSA Math and on March 20-21 for MSA Reading. (Grades 5 and 8 will take the MSA Science assessment later this spring.)

It is a shame, really, that the school system did not take into account Daylight Savings time when scheduling the tests. Most health experts agree that it takes, on average, 5 days to become acclimated to the time change. Young kids, as it is, do not do particularly well when school begins very early.
The decision is made by the state dept, not the county school system. Schools are told when to start.
I believe the state is part of the school system and, thus, should have considered the ramifications.
