2023 District Literary Rally
We Change Lives
Rally Day Reminders:
- Students need to bring their own #2 pencils/NO pencil sharpeners will be available on rally day, so bring extras.
- Students should dress in layers(some classrooms are cold as others are warm).
- All of the test start at 9:00am sharp, so please make sure to arrive early. Students only have an hour to take their test.
- Students need to know how to circle in a scantron answer sheet. The scantrons will be provided by the test proctors. Make sure to print your name legibly on the scantron answer sheet so it may be scored
- Know which test are allowed to use calculators & which calculators are allowed. Visit the State Rally website for info https://lhsra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Calculator-use-policies-2023.pdf
- Unofficial results will be posted at the Burton Business Conference Center the day of rally starting around 10:30am until all tests are turned in, which are normally completed around noon. Students please remember that these are unofficial results, so remember that a lot can change once test packets are double checked the following Monday & Tuesday. Once results are finalized, official results will be posted on the district rally website (which won’t happen until probably Wednesday, February 8th).
- The McNeese District Rally Coordinator will then email State Rally (LSU) our districts results, so they know who is eligible to attend on March 4, 2023 the State Rally Test
- Students to participate in Spring Preview Day on rally day if they are able to attend. Visit this link to see the agenda
