The Spring Keystone Exams will be administered to eligible students from May 11-22. The Keystone Exams, according to PDE, “are end-of-course assessments designed to assess proficiency in various subject areas.” Those subject areas are Literature, Biology and Algebra 1. For students with an identified disability, specific accommodations, similar to those indicated in their IEP, may be appropriate for that student on one or all of the exams. Keystone Exam accommodations are determined by the IEP team at the annual meeting.

Extended School Year (ESY) is programming that provides special education services to eligible students beyond the state mandated 180 required school days. The IEP Team considers 7 different factors, largely related to a student’s regression of skills and the recoupment of those skills after an extended break from school. IEP Teams begin discussions about ESY in February if it has not already been decided. As students return from spring break, and summer approaches, if you think your student is eligible for ESY and it has not been discussed, contact your student’s Special Education Teacher to assemble an IEP Meeting to discuss if this programming is needed.
