PSAT 8/9 and PSAT-NMSQT Testing will begin next week! Testing days are highly important for both our students and school.
On October 8, Freshmen will be taking the PSAT 8/9 test.
On October 9, Sophomores and Juniors will take the PSAT-NMSQT.
There will be a modified schedule for both of these days, and students will be released after testing is complete. Testing is expected to end around noon. If students require accommodations, their testing is expected to run a little longer, and case managers will be communicating those specific times on an individual basis.Grab-and-go lunch will be available for students after they complete testing and before dismissal. DPS transportation will be available for students at 1:20 p.m. for students who ride the bus.
Freshmen, sophomores and juniors must bring their charged laptops and chargers to school on their testing day. Limited loaner laptops will be available.
Seniors have an opportunity to join DSF office hours on Tuesday, October 8 from 1:30-3:50 p.m., but they are NOT required to attend school on either October 8 and 9.
Guardians, please know that students are required by the State to participate in these assessments, unless they are officially opted out by a parent. Parents can opt their students out via the Parent Portal, but we encourage students to participate. Kennedy needs at least 95% of students taking these assessments in order to maintain or improve our School Performance Framework rating.
