We will be following the same schedule for the science HSPE as we did for Reading and Writing. All 9th and 10th graders will begin at normal time, 7:55 AM. 11th and 12th graders who can arrive late, may do so and there day will begin at 11:10 AM.
The HSPE name conveys the goal of the test: to measure a student’s proficiency of basic skills. Students in the classes of 2010-2012 must pass a reading and writing assessment to be eligible to graduate. If a student has already passed a specific assessment via the WASL (the former state test), such as reading, they will not have to take the HSPE in that content area.
Students in the Class of 2013 are the first to be required to pass reading, writing, math and science assessments.
The HSPE is shorter to take than the WASL and will be moved online over the next few years. Reading, math and science will take just one day each instead of two with the WASL. For now, writing will still take two days.
