Parents/Guardians of RCOLA students,

The U.S. Department of Education requires states to administer statewide assessments.  The Kentucky Performance Rating for Educational Progress (K-PREP) is the annual summative assessment given in grades 3 through 8, 10 and 11 to Kentucky public school students.   K-PREP provides content area assessments, such as reading, mathematics, science, social studies and writing, at all grade levels or grade bands.  K-PREP is a criterion-referenced test developed specifically to measure the Kentucky Academic Standards.  Student performance levels (novice, apprentice, proficient and distinguished) are used to describe how well students perform to Kentucky-specific standards.

Rowan County Schools testing window is May 3^rd- May 19^th, 2021.  Please call your child’s guidance counselor to arrange K-PREP testing for your child.  The counselors’ contact information is in the chart below.  If you have any questions regarding K-PREP, you may contact your child’s guidance counselor, principal or me.

Thank you,

Tamela Buttry
