Make up Testing Begins Monday, April 21st at 8:20am in the Library
From April 14th - 17th East High School students will participate in SAT, PSAT, and CMAS Science tests as required by the state of Colorado. This is a chance for students and their families to get feedback on student progress and college readiness.
All 11th grade students taking the SAT free of charge have the opportunity to send their scores to colleges to be considered for admissions decisions.
Parents or guardians who would like to decline their student’s College Board approved testing accommodations for the April administration of the SAT or PSAT should email our Site Assessment Leader Jessica Perkins at jperkin@dpsk12.net by March 14. Any requests made after that date may not be guaranteed because accommodations are built into the digital testing format.
These test scores affect East High School’s ratings on the state of Colorado’s School Performance Framework.
