Important Information to Note!

EXPLORE TEST TO BE GIVEN
8TH GRADERS

September 17th – 18th the 8th graders at Chandler’s will be taking the Explore (ACT) Test. Across the state every 8th grader will be taking this same test and the scores will be reported to the Kentucky Department of Education. These scores will also be figured into our testing accountability scores for this year. We would like to encourage you to have your child here at school each day that we give the test. Testing will be done in the mornings, so if they have an appointment on these days please make it in the afternoons.

The Explore Test will give students a snapshot of their academic skills and knowledge in English, mathematics, science, and reading. It also lets them know how they are measuring up to the college readiness standards that colleges look at for entering freshman. Furthermore the Explore Test is designed to help students begin to focus on personally relevant career possibilities. To find out more about this test visit www.actstudent.org/explore.

If you have any questions about this please contact Mrs. Winchester at 542-4139.
