Students in Henderson County Schools will take the Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) starting on May 2nd and continuing until the final day of testing on May 22nd.
KSA is the annual summative assessment given to Kentucky public school students in grades 3-8, 10, and 11. KSA provides content area assessments that include reading, math, science, social studies, writing, and editing & mechanics. Students will also complete a Quality of School Climate and Safety Survey before the content area tests.
Per Kentucky regulations, all students in Henderson County Schools are expected to test.
Families are reminded of these tips for test-taking success:
Know when your child’s test dates are scheduled.
Do not schedule appointments when your child is testing.
Encourage your child to do his/her best on testing days.
Remind your child of the importance of reading directions carefully and not rushing through a test.
Please ensure students get a good night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and are at school on time each day ready to give their best effort.
Each school will be sharing a detailed testing schedule with families.
