<div>Good Morning,</div>

<div>After reviewing the schedule of deadlines for posting our 2016-17 Preliminary Test Administration Manual, we have determined that in order to meaningfully engage with the Assessment Advisory Committee prior to publication, we will need to move the May

We hope this date will work for everyone and apologize for any inconvenience this change presents. </div>

<div>If you will not be able to attend on the 6<font size="1"><span style="font-size:7.3pt;"><sup>th</sup></span></font> or will need to participate remotely, please contact Jordan Heide. Thank you for your understanding!</div>
