ISASP and Central Schedules

The annual Iowa State Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) testing window will be opening soon.  Students will test at their home schools.

All DMPS high schools will use the same testing schedule. Middle schools are each setting their own schedules.

HIGH SCHOOLS

• No classes for 9 – 12th graders at Central during periods 1 – 3.
• Students who come to Central for period 5 should get on the bus at the end of testing and eat lunch at Central before going to period 5
• All afternoon buses will run at their normal times.

High School testing: Wednesday, April 5 testing in periods 5 – 8.

• Students who have period 3 classes at Central will eat lunch at Central before loading buses at 11:50 to go back to the home schools for testing.
• No classes for 9th – 12th graders at Central during periods 5 – 8.
• 6 – 8th graders will continue to attend classes at their regularly scheduled times.

MIDDLE SCHOOLS

Each middle school sets their own schedule. As such, we have asked that DMPS middle schools allow their Academy students to follow their Academy schedule and test when they are scheduled to be at their home schools.

COMPUTER CHECKS

Students should check that they are ready to take the ISASP test on their school computer:

• Computer is in good working order
• Computer charging cord can be located and is in good working order
• The Test NAV app should be located on the student desktop.

If you have problems with any of these items, please see the Building Technology Specialist (BTS) in your home school.

Based on the incredible progress students have made in their Academy classes this year, I am extremely confident that we are ready to do very well on these tests!  Good luck, everyone!  Get rested, eat a good breakfast, and show them what you can do!
