AK STAR Update
Unfortunately, because of continuing programmatic issues with the State of
Alaska AK STAR assessment, the Anchorage School District has paused testing. Due to
this situation, Frontier will cancel its test sessions for April 5-April 8, so that
families can plan their instructional time for the rest of the week. ASD is
hoping the issue with AK STAR will be resolved so that testing can continue.
This pause in testing does not impact the Alaska Science Assessment for
grades 5, 8, and 10, which is scheduled for April 11. As soon as we receive
more information, we will provide you the opportunity to reschedule for
the AK STAR. If you are unable to reschedule another test session for the
AK STAR, we will understand. Thank you again for all your help and
support. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your
academic advisor.
