Instructions and registration materials were sent to schools selected for the 2022 NAEP this week via email, hardcopy versions are also being sent to the schools’ principals via regular mail.
- Principals are asked to review the materials ASAP, designate a building coordinator, and ensure the school(s) register online for NAEP before Thursday, September 23, 2021.
- Building coordinators will use a unique 8-digit school code highlighted in yellow in the registration materials to create system-user accounts at MyNAEP.com and register the schools.
- After creating a system password, coordinators must complete the initial Provide School Information (PSI) section on the website to finalize a school’s registration.
