Hello students and parents,

"This communication is being sent to inform and remind you of the upcoming Keystone Algebra Testing taking place on Monday, January 10 and Tuesday, January 11. Students enrolled in CP and Hn Algebra II will take the Keystone Algebra Exam on these dates. Students will report to school as usual but will be assigned to various classrooms for testing.

The Exam takes place over two days in two sections or Modules. Module 1 will be tested on January 10, and Module 2 will be tested on January 11. Each Module contains twenty-three (23) Multiple Choice (MC) questions and four (4) Constructed Response (CR) or short answer questions.

Students have been working toward preparation for the Keystone Exam by completing assignments and taking assessments that contain questions similar to the MC and CR items they will see on the exam.

To assist students in reviewing for the exam, teachers have put together a few resources:

Students and parents should also know that recent PDE Legislation has renewed the passing of Keystone Exams as a Graduation Requirement. Taking and passing the Keystone assessments is one pathway to graduation through Act 158.

Please contact your teacher with any questions or further details about specific content you should be reviewing and after-school review sessions".

Thank you,

SHS Admin
