All students will take the state assessment, the Illinois Assessment of Readiness, on April 9, 10, 11. Our staff has been preparing students for this experience! Over the course of three days, students will take two reading and three math assessments. All grade levels will follow an alternate school schedule on this day and students will take one test in the morning and one in the afternoon. Students not absent during testing will miss class time to complete make-ups April 14-18th.
How can parents help their student prepare?
Please encourage your student to do their best! Students will receive "effort tickets" throughout the test that can be cashed in for larger incentives.
Please ensure students are getting a complete breakfast and plenty of sleep the night before. Schedule doctor’s visits or other appointments for other weeks to ensure students are present during testing.
Make sure student’s Chromebooks are fully charged each night and students have a pair of non-Bluetooth headphones. All assessments will be administered through their Chromebook.
Students will follow an alternate class schedule on these days which will alter their lunch time. Please make sure your child brings a healthy snack each day.
Along with grade reports and teacher articulation, Lake Park High School will use IAR results to determine student placement for advanced coursework.
As always, thank you for your support!
