REMINDER-UPDATEYOURDEVICE!

In order to prepare for this computer-based test, please make sure to have your child update their iPad to the latest operating system. 8th graders with MacBooks should also be updated. Students with iPads should be updated to iOS 17.3. Here is a link to a tutorial of how you can update your iPad. Please contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@klschools.org if you need assistance with updating your child's device.

Please be sure your child arrives on time for school each day as the tests will be administered first thing in the morning. The best preparation is a good night’s sleep and a solid breakfast. Your child’s teacher(s) will ensure that students are familiar with the format and content of the exams so they can feel comfortable as they demonstrate their knowledge and skills. 

The results will be reported to parents as soon as they become available.

In addition to these assessments, the district has a variety of tools to help us track student performance and growth.  Together, they provide a comprehensive picture of student learning that informs instruction.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. As always, we appreciate your support.
