Please be present to pick up your student at the designated time, as there will be no supervision on campus outside the testing times.
A Digital Assessment
This assessment is completely digital so students must bring their computer or iPad (note that student-owned Chromebooks will not work); junior high students will use a school-owned device. Please make sure the devices are fully charged and that students bring a charger with them on test day.
Students should also bring their calculator.
About the Assessments
The Iowa Assessments help us determine how our students are performing compared to nationwide standards. These assessments measure achievement in several important content areas including Reading, English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The exact tests each student takes depends on his or her grade level.
The Iowa Assessments also measure student growth and progress in the content areas assessed from year to year and provide information about college readiness for older students.
Preparing for Test Day
A student who is well rested and fed and who has a positive attitude about testing is best prepared for testing. You can help your student do his or her best by considering these tips:

Make sure that your student is in school and on time on the test day. Reschedule dentist appointments and other out-of-school time for non-testing days.
Make sure your student gets a good night’s sleep and eats a healthy breakfast before testing.
Remind your student that these tests are only one measure of what he or she has learned. Emphasize that you have confidence in his or her ability to do the best job possible.
Remind your student to listen to the directions and read each question carefully during testing. Encourage your student to ask the teacher for help if he or she does not understand the directions.

Score Reporting
The school will receive test scores about 6 weeks after test day. The scores indicate how your student performed on the tests compared with students across the nation in the same grade. FRCS will release testing information once we receive the results.
Thank you very much for encouraging & supporting your student during testing. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Guidance Department.
