Frequently-asked Questions:
When should my child plan on being in attendance for their testing day?
All Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen will complete their College Board Test on Tuesday, April 13, 2021 during the normal school day. This includes all remote and VAAC students as well. All Juniors will complete their ACT WorkKeys and M-STEP Science and Social Studies tests on Wednesday, April 14, 2021. These testing sessions require all remote and VAAC students to attend as well, and will take up a normal school day schedule.
What if my student is a virtual/remote student and needs transportation on their testing day? What if my in-person learning Junior child will need transportation on that remote learning Wednesday? How are breakfast and lunch being handled both of these days?
All Virtual/remote students who need transportation on Tuesday, April 13th, should contact the bus garage at JennFran@hpsvikings.org. Breakfast/lunch will be provided free-of-charge for all 9th-11th graders on April 13th (as they currently are on an in-person learning day). Lunch times will be different this day due to testing times.
Any Juniors who need transportation or free meals provided on Wednesday, April 14th, will need to complete the survey listed below by April 1, 2021:
How will my child know where to report on their testing day(s)? What should they bring with them for their testing day(s)? Will safety protocols be in place during testing?
Schedules will be posted throughout the building as we get closer to testing days so that students know when and where they are to report, time frame for each test (and lunchtimes as well), and what they are allowed to bring with them. Students are expected to wear masks during testing, and all students will be socially distanced during testing as well.
Are students required to complete their test(s)?
Yes. These tests are mandatory by state law and free of charge.
What is the Vo-tech Schedule on these dates?
No HHS Juniors or Seniors will attend Vo-tech on April 13, 2021. HHS Seniors will attend Vo-tech on April 14th as they would any other Wednesday, ut Juniors will not attend Vo-tech this day. When Junior PM Vo-tech students are completed with their SAT on April 13th, they may either go home or report to the library while waiting until the end of the school day. All other juniors will report to their 5th hour classes after lunch that day.
Does my child need to do anything prior to their testing day?
Here are a few recommended tips before testing day(s):
Is there anything else I need to know about my child’s test(s)?
Yes, if your child is taking the PSAT 10 or the SAT there is information your student will be required to provide during the pre-administration session (along with optional information like four free SAT score sends, opt-in to the Student Search, and an optional student questionnaire). Here is information about two of these optional sections, and a link to provide consent for your student to complete:
1 – Student Search Service
As a parent, you can provide consent for your student to opt-in to the Student Search Service when they complete their answer sheet. Student Search Service connects students with additional colleges and scholarship organizations by sharing information with participating organizations, which will provide you and your student with:
• information about colleges and universities that match your student’s academic interests
• information on financial aid and scholarships to help deserving students access scholarships they’ve earned
• information about majors, courses, and degree options
The College Board only shares data with eligible colleges, universities, and scholarship and educational opportunity programs that signed an agreement to communicate with students only for the purposes listed above. These entities most often connect with students based on expected graduation date, cumulative grade point average (GPA), score range, and intended college major.
2 – Optional Student Questionnaire
As a parent, you can provide consent for your student to participate in the optional questionnaire. The information from these questions will be added to their College Board student record. Your child’s responses to the optional questionnaire:
• provide data used by the College Board for research and planning to improve tests and services
• help match students with colleges, universities, and scholarship and educational opportunity programs
You can learn more about the College Board’s privacy policy at https://about.collegeboard.org/privacy-policy.
If you are interested in having your child opt into the Student Search Service, and/or complete the optional Student Questionnaire, please fill out the following link by March 1, 2021.
