Winter Keystone Exam Information

Families of students taking Keystone exams should have received a letter in the mail detailing which exams your student needs to take and which room they will report to. If your student is currently taking Algebra 1B, English 10, or Biology this semester you should have received a letter. If you did not receive a letter, please reach out to our 10^th grade secretary Ellen_Bishop@hempfieldsd.org Families can find more information about Keystone Testing on our State Assessment webpage found HERE. Resources include, the winter keystone notice to parents, Code of Conduct for Test Takers, and the Calculator policy.

 

All HHS students need to be aware of the Special Schedules we will run on January 6^th, 7^th, 8^th, and 9^th for our Keystone Exams. Schedules are posted in the Schoology calendar for easy student reference. During these four days all bus transportation will operate as normal.  However, students who are not testing do not need to be in school during the testing window. Non-testing students should plan to arrive by 10:00am in order to be on time for the start of their Pd1 class, which will begin at 10:05am. Non-testing students should enter HHS through the rear cafeteria entrance. Students will not be admitted to HHS via the main entrances until 10:00am.
