Time Allotment:
ISASP testing has “recommended” testing time allotments but unlike the Iowa Assessment testing format of old, they are modifiable for all students. Students needing additional time to complete a test will be provided a quiet testing environment immediately following the testing session where they can have additional time to work.
Non-Allowed Technology:
Students will not have access to their cell phones, smart watches, or other electronic devices during the assigned testing time.
Students with College Course Conflicts:
We recognize we have some Juniors who will have time conflicts with IHCC courses. Those students should attend their college classes and report to SHS as soon as possible to start testing. Any make-up tests will begin immediately on Thursday, April 10th.
