* Special education students may have a different schedule. Please contact your child’s special education caseload teacher as testing week gets closer for their individual schedule.
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 Wednesday, April 12, 2023 during the normal school day. This includes all HPS students. In addition, all Juniors will complete their ACT WorkKeys and M-STEP Science and Social Studies tests on Thursday, April 13, 2023 while in the building. These testing sessions require all students to attend as well, and will be taken during the normal school day schedule.
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 frames for each test (and lunchtimes as well), and what they are allowed to bring with them.
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 will attend Vo-tech on April 12th, 2023. HHS Seniors will attend school on this day, as they will be participating in a College/Career Fair county-wide day. When Junior PM Vo-tech students complete 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):
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:
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, then you must fill out the following link by March 1, 2023.
All retakes must be scheduled through the college board via the student’s College Board account. Information on how students can create an account, if they don’t have one, can be found at the bottom of this page. Retakes are NOT taken at HHS, but may be scheduled at other local educational institutions. You will find a list of testing sites for the date you choose listed online in your College Board Account.
