Important Information about HSPE

Dear Parents/Guardians,

State testing for high school students begins soon. This will be your child’s chance to show their mastery of the state’s reading, writing and math standards.

Please make sure they have plenty of rest and a healthy breakfast as you help them start their testing days.

To graduate, your child needs to show key Reading, Writing and Math skills by passing the High School HSPE (High School Proficiency Exam). Other state-approved alternatives to the HSPE are available after a student has taken the test at least once. Also, students in special education have many testing or assessment options available.

Here’s what you need to know about this year’s testing:

· Reading and writing will be tested March 16-18.

· Math will be tested April 13.

· Science will be tested April 15 (10^th graders must take the Science HSPE, but it’s not a graduation requirement).

· You do not need to register your child for testing.

· Students who miss spring testing need to wait until August 9-12 to test again.

· Testing will take place between 7:30 a.m. - 9:55 a.m.

· Lunch will be from 9:55a.m. – 10:45 a.m.

· The buses will run on the normal daily schedule. There is no special bus schedule.

· If your student is not testing, they are not required to arrive at school until 10:45 AM each testing day.

· For those students not required to take the test, but arriving by regularly scheduled school buses, there will be activities provided.

Students in the class of 2010 & 2011 who are unable to pass any of the math options can graduate but they must pass two credits of math, their last two years. All students in the class of 2012 must pass the math HSPE.

Please call Mr. McSheehy at 885-5009 or Ms. Whitling at 885-5062 if you have questions about HSPE testing or the graduation requirements, in general.

Thank you for continuing to work with us to make sure your child is successful with all of the graduation requirements. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to better support your child. We want your child to leave us with a solid foundation of skills and a future full of opportunities.

Sincerely,

Jason Perrins, Principal
