The PNP is a collection of student information regarding a student’s testing condition, materials, or accessibility features and accommodations that areneeded to take a PARCC assessment.

Process for Collecting PNP Information:For students without disabilities, and who are not English learners, decisions about which accessibility features identified in advance (if any and if allowed) will be included in the student’s PNP will be made based on the student’s education-related needs and preferences by an informal team, which may include the:a.Student (as appropriate)b.Parent/guardianc.Student’s primary educator in the subject of the assessment
