IAR Test
IAR MATH Testing will continue this Monday (4/15), Tuesday (4/16), and Wednesday (4/17). It's crucial that your student(s) arrive to school on time, as testing will begin promptly at 9:00 AM each day. Each test session will last until approximately 11:00 AM each testing day so please refrain from scheduling medical appointments and/or early pickups for your students during that timeframe. Additionally, please ensure they get a good night's sleep and eat a nutritious breakfast to help them perform their best. IAR participation also impacts Prairie View's overall rating on the Illinois Report Card. Thank you for your support in preparing our students for success!
Students will be rewarded with EYE-PASSES for the following:
- being on time
- having headphones or earbuds
- having a book to read
- using a sharpened pencil
- using scratch paper for both Math & Reading sections
- coming with a fully charged iPad
- demonstrating respectful behavior during and after testing
Reminder: No Apple/smart watches are allowed during testing.
