State Testing Information for Parents

Information for Parents/Guardians for Pennsylvania State Testing (2023)

Pennsylvania Standardized Testing is used to measure student progress and achievement.  To ensure the most success for your child, we recommend students:

  • get enough sleep the night before (at least 8 hours of restful sleep)
  • wake up early with enough time to get to school without rushing
  • eat a good breakfast
  • dress comfortably and in layers
  • avoid unnecessary absences and be on time
  • turn off and turn-in any cell phones, smart watches, or other smart technology to their Test Administrator before the session begins.
  • ask teachers about any concerns or questions they have about testing prior to the test dates
  • follow the Code of Conduct for Test Takers (below)
