Dear Students, Parents/Guardians of Carlisle High School,

In the past, students in Iowa have taken the Iowa Assessments.  This year, those tests will be replaced by the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) as the accountability test for all Iowa students. The test, developed by Iowa Testing Programs (ITP) at the University of Iowa per the Iowa Legislature, will be administered to students at Carlisle High School during the first two weeks of April.  

Assessments will be administered in the following subjects and grade levels:

• Monday, April 1 (Reading, Math)
• Tuesday, April 2:  No School (Juniors have ACT Testing)
• Wednesday, April 3, (Language/Writing, Conditions for Learning Survey)

• Monday, April 1 (Reading, Math)
• Tuesday, April 2:  No School (Juniors have ACT Testing)
• Wednesday, April 3 (Science)
• Tuesday, April 9 (Language/Writing, Conditions for Learning Survey)

• Tuesday, April 2, ACT Testing 8:10am -12:00pm
• Tuesday, April 9 (Reading, Math)
• Wednesday, April 10, (Language/Writing, Conditions for Learning Survey)
• Friday, April 5, No School for Juniors

• Tuesday, April 2:  No School (Juniors have ACT Testing)

Unlike Iowa Assessments, the ISASP will be given on computers and will not be timed. Visit the ISASP website for more information or view their video that provides an overview of the test.

Just like the ACT, SAT, and AP tests, no personal electronic devices (smart watches, cell phones, iPods, etc.) will be allowed during testing.  If you must reach your child during this time, please call the office to have a message delivered.

If you have any questions, please contact the high school principal at: matthew.blackmore@carlislecsd.org
