Olmsted Academy South

Dear Parents and Guardians,

KSA testing at Olmsted Academy South starts tomorrow. It is critical that all students follow the school’s state testing cell phone rules. To ensure a secure and distraction-free testing environment, students must leave their cell phones at home or store them in their lockers before testing begins.
Phones are not permitted in the classroom under any circumstances during KSA testing. If a phone is seen, heard, or discovered during testing, it will be confiscated and a parent or guardian will be required to come to the school to retrieve it. In addition, the student will receive a referral and be assigned to ISAP for the remainder of the day after testing.
We have made this announcement to students all week and will continue to make the announcement through testing. We strongly encourage you to speak with your student individually about this policy so they fully understand the expectations.
These expectations are in place due to the serious implications cell phone use can have on state testing integrity, and we appreciate your support in reinforcing this expectation with your child.
