Keystone Exam – Parent Information

  • Keystone Exams: As you know, demonstrating proficiency on the Keystone Exams is the most direct pathway for students to earn a high school diploma through Act 158. We will continue to provide a supportive and structured testing process to ensure that students have an environment that allows them to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. 
  • More than 1,000 Keystone Exams will be completed during the spring Keystone Exam testing wave, which will occur May 12-18.
  • We will facilitate adjusted schedules on May 12-15 to accommodate the large number of student testers.
  • Students who are testing are required to arrive at school on time, with charged laptops, to complete their scheduled Keystone Exams.
  • Transportation will run as normal on May 12-15. 
  • Students were notified of their testing locations and assignments on April 24. 
  • Students who are not testing and have their own transportation will be permitted to arrive at school at the conclusion of the testing block (10:20) on May 12-15. 
  • The adjusted schedule for the Keystone Exams on May 12-15 can be found HERE
  • Students with blended schedules must pay close attention to the altered block sequence and the change of times.
