As testing season approaches, please be advised that no student will be checked out during the school day when we are administering state-mandated tests. Testing sites must be uninterrupted to ensure validity and reliability of their results.
This policy applies to the following testing date:
April 1- Aspire and AZSci (9th and 11th graders; all others asynchronous off campus)
Help Your Child Be Prepared for Testing
State testing is right around the corner for students in grades 3-9 and 11. These assessments are required and not only help measure your child’s learning but also play a role in your school’s overall performance rating. For high school students, test scores also contribute to College and Career Readiness Index (CCRI) points, which help show how well schools are preparing students for success after graduation.
Here’s how you can help your student feel prepared and confident on testing days:
- Ensure good rest – A full night’s sleep helps students stay focused and do their best.
- Be on time & present – Attendance matters every day, but especially during testing. Please avoid scheduling appointments during your child’s testing schedule.
- Encourage their best effort – These tests are a way for students to show what they know. Encourage them to take their time, read carefully, stay positive and try their best.
Thank you for partnering with us to help your students succeed.
