Forward Exam/ACT Aspire Testing
The students at Point of Discovery School will be participating in the Forward Exam (6th, 7th, and 8th graders) and the ACT Aspire (9th and 10th graders) during the statewide open testing window. Our school is scheduled to take the assessments April 27-29, 2021.
Students in grades 6-7 will be participating in the English Language Arts and Math assessments. Students in 8th grade will also participate in the Science and Social Studies exams. The ACT Aspire for 9th and 10th graders has five sections: Reading, Writing, English, Math, and Science. One or more subtests may be administered daily during the identified time frame and it is very important that your son or daughter be in school during this time. Students not in school on the scheduled testing days will be scheduled for a make-up test prior to the close of the testing window.
Their performance on the assessment will not affect any of their current grades. Please encourage your son or daughter to take the test seriously and do the best they can. The results of these tests will be used to help school staff make determinations or placement in classes to best support your child(ren).
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
