- Test Proctor Volunteers are needed from Apex Middle School
Apex Middle School has been giving RACL tremendous support and help during the past school year. It is the time for us to do something for them now.
Test Proctor Volunteers are needed from Apex Middle School.
The dates that we need volunteers are: Tuesday, May 30th through Monday, June 5th. There will be several tests being administered on each of these days.
Also, please note that while we strongly prefer that proctors complete the online registration process prior to volunteering (per the instructions on the Sign-up Genius), this is not an absolute must. I will be at Apex Middle School, though, on the last two Saturdays and Sundays prior to testing (the 13th, 14th, 20th, and 21st) so that volunteers may access a school computer and complete this registration.

Dear Mr. Zhiping Zhang and Xin Fang,
My name is Terri Galeazzi, and I am the Testing Coordinator for Apex Middle School.
As you may know, public schools are mandated to give certain tests at the end of each school year. As a result of this testing mandate, our school is in need of many proctor volunteers. Without enough proctor volunteers, we will have a rather unsuccessful end to this school year.
Currently, our volunteer numbers are uncharacteristically low. It is for this reason that I am reaching out to you and the Raleigh Academy of Chinese Language. If possible, would you be willing to extend this volunteer opportunity to the staff and/or parents of the Raleigh Academy of Chinese Language?
I have attached a proctor volunteer advertisement, which provides a few more details and the sign-up link. The dates that we need volunteers are: Tuesday, May 30th through Monday, June 5th. There will be several tests being administered on each of these days. The start time each day is 8:15 a.m., and the end time is dependent upon the test being administered. If a volunteer is able to give some time, but not the whole time on a specified test day, then he/she may write a note in the Sign-up Genius indicating so.
Also, please note that while we strongly prefer that proctors complete the online registration process prior to volunteering (per the instructions on the Sign-up Genius), this is not an absolute must. I will be at Apex Middle School, though, on the last two Saturdays and Sundays prior to testing (the 13th, 14th, 20th, and 21st) so that volunteers may access a school computer and complete this registration.
Apex Middle School would be much honored to have the help of the Raleigh Academy of Chinese in recruiting test proctors. Thank you in advance for any assistance you and your school are able to provide!
Please feel free to e-mail me any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Terri Galeazzi

Test Coordinator
