Students are scheduled to participate in multiple assessments, which are federally mandated by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015) and required per Hawaii Board of Education policy.

Students who are participating in distance learning or blended models are REQUIRED to be assessed in-person, on our school's campus.

If your child is not feeling well or displays any cold or flu-like symptoms on the scheduled date of testing, your child will not be allowed on campus. Please notify the KHPES office at (808) 313-4100.

Your child will be tested using the Chromebook that was issued to your child for distance learning. Please make sure your child's computer is fully charged and brought on their day of testing.

Bus transportation will be available and parents/guardians need to complete the bus application. Applications are available at the main office or online by clicking here.
