ISTEP-Applied Skills will be administered on Tuesday, March 6 - Thursday March, 8. ALSO,  on Monday, March 5th during Bonus, we will be having a “Dry Run/Practice Day” where students are able to prepare for the test by knowing where they should report actual testing days. It is very important that students are present during ISTEP and on-time for school. Also, please encourage students to eat a good breakfast and get a good night’s sleep before coming to school. We HIGHLY recommend that students don’t bring their cell phones to school during testing days, HOWEVER, if students do bring their phone to school they will need to keep the phone in their locker.This procedure will help avoid invalidating a student’s test.
