AzMERIT Testing - NEXT WEEK

Next week, students at Willis Junior High School will be participating in state mandated AzMERIT testing. All testing this school year will be administered online.

Please encourage your student(s) to do their best and not to worry. For more information, please read the AzMERIT letter from Mr. Delp.
