Use of electronic devices by a student is considered a testing irregularity and could result in his/her test being invalidated. Students will be instructed to have all electronic devices off and locked in their lockers, or they must turn them in to their test administrator. This includes cell phones, e-readers and apple/smart watches. *Students are not allowed to have electronic devices in the testing room. *Students need to get a good night's sleep and eat breakfast! We hope this is the routine every day and especially for testing! Please follow the district guidelines for illness and keep your child home, if needed. *Students should not attend school on a testing day if they are sick. They will return to their testing areas to eat their meals. Students who are unable to bring a sack lunch will be walked to the cafeteria. The cafeteria will be open for students to purchase their lunch if they did not bring their lunch. Students who are testing will have lunch in their testing areas. We know this may seem inconvenient, but it is essential that we provide a safe, secure, and quiet environment for all students who are testing. You will not be able to drop off lunches or other materials on these days. Parents, this means if your student brings or you deliver their lunch, the lunch must be sent to school with your child. *Campus will be closed to visitors on each testing day.

JASPER HIGH SCHOOL SPRING FORMAL FREE

Our focus is academic and social and emotional growth. We have many accomplishments to celebrate and it is with great anticipation that we plan to build upon our successes and continue to provide excellence to our children and community. Through dedication and hard work of staff, students, and community, our students demonstrated significant growth in reading and math on our local STAR assessments. I can't say that we will return to normal, but what we will do is learn and grow from our experience over the last two years. I am extremely proud of the resiliency our students and staff have demonstrated during these unprecedented times. Welcome to Dirksen Junior High School! COVID-19 and the pandemic have created some challenging times in education across the world.
