KPREP Testing

VPE has set the dates for our spring KPREP testing. Testing is shortened this year and will be taking place over two days.  Students who are in-person learning in grades 3-5 will test on Monday, May 10th and Tuesday, May 11th.  Students who are remote learners who wish to come into school to test will be able to do so on Thursday, May 6th and Friday, May 7th.   Unfortunately, due to state guidelines KPREP can not be administered remotely like MAP testing and will require students to come to school on the noted testing days. Please email shannon.headley@fayette.kyschool.us if you want to have your remote learner scheduled to test during the remote testing dates. The KPREP testing schedule as follows:

• Remote Learners - Thursday, May 6th & Friday, May 7th - @ 8:00

• In Person Learners - Monday, May 10th & Tuesday, May 11th
• Daily Schedule
• Day One: 3-5 Student Survey, Reading Part A & Math Part A
• Day Two: 4th - Science & 5th On Demand

MAP Testing

During the month of April student will be taking the MAP test.  This test will be administered in both reading and math.  Students will complete the assessment with their homeroom teacher if in-person learning.  Students who are learning remotely will take the assessment with their Caring School Community staff member.  During assessment days the remote schedule will be altered.  Please look for communication from your child's teacher regarding the testing dates and schedule.

Patriot Place Information

Registration for 2021-2022 School Year: Please note that Patriot Place openings for incoming Kindergarteners is now on a lottery system.  Therefore, once a family officially registers they can be placed in the lottery system.  Families will be notified by the end of May if they have been randomly selected for a spot after both spring registration windows have closed.  Please note families with older siblings will be given priority to keep families together.  Families who have been enrolled in the program prior to closing for Covid  will be contacted to re-enroll this spring for registering for the 2021-2022 school year.  As spots open for the older grades we will contact families from our waiting list.

Vaccinations are an important part of keeping our students healthy and ready to learn. If you have not had a chance to get your child's immunization record updated at school, please find time as soon as possible to obtain certificates for your student from your healthcare provider.
