Did Poolesville complete the test? Why did it work at Poolesville and not at other schools?

we (Poolesville) did a homeroom last week to make sure all student devices were operating correctly with the online platform which helped some -- but mainly the staff kept hitting refresh until it worked -- it was just an issue with the College Board site the proctors used to start the test. We deliberately built in extra time in case something like this happened, so we didn't feel rushed or worried when it took an extra 15-20 minutes to get things started

Our private did that as well, and then students updated their devices to IpadOS 17 which caused issues. They were able to catch them on time, and fix them, but that's because they were dealing with 100s and not 1,000s of kids.

So weird to know which os version your kid is using at school. I mean really weird.

I'm the teacher, not the parent in this situation.

But it's not particularly weird that a kid who got a notice asking them if they can bring a backup device because the system detected that they updated their os would mention it to their parent.
