Parents,
At my Principal’s Coffee there was a request by some of the
parents to take a sample test of what the new state testing will look like in
2014-15. Kent ISD developed a prototype assessment from test items
released by the organization developing the assessment. We asked our
teachers to take this test earlier this year. The rationale for
attempting the assessment is to recognize the level of complexity the new
standards will be requiring of our students. The middle school test is
based on the 7th grade Common Core State Standards. There are
options for fourth and eleventh grade as well.
We are unsure how the system will handle a lot of parents
accessing this at the same time. If you experience difficulty, try using
it at another point in the day. One thing that we found is that it is not
as successful when using Internet Explorer. I recommend Mozilla Firefox,
a free download, or Safari on Apple devices. Here is the website:
Once you access the site, here is the username and password
to access the test:
Username:

Password:

If you take the assessment, I would love your feedback and
thoughts. Thank you for your time and consideration.
