Winter Keystone Exam Schedule:
Winter Keystone Exams- January 2024

The winter exam dates are:
- Literature retakes- January 4 and 5
- Algebra 1 retakes- January 9 and 10
- Biology retakes- January 11 and 12
Dr. Kochenour will be sending out details about testing when we return from Thanksgiving break. This will include the testing rooms students will report to, schedule for those that are testing, and details to what students need to bring to the exam. Dr. Kochenour will also be sending a reminder message to parents of those that are scheduled to retest.
