Use the quick action steps below to locate the current year calendar, contact testing coordinators, and prepare for makeup testing.

Where to look for official schedules

Start with your school district’s testing and assessment page for school-level windows, classroom schedules, and coordinator contacts; the district posts calendar details and local testing logistics. Jefferson County Public Schools - Assessment[1]

Check the district assessment calendar early to plan absences.

For statewide assessment windows (K-PREP and other KDE-administered tests), consult the Kentucky Department of Education assessment pages for official test administrations, windows, and technical briefs. Kentucky Department of Education - Assessment & Accountability[2]

How districts and the state publish schedules

  • District academic calendars often include broad testing windows and grade-level schedules.
  • KDE posts statewide windows for mandated assessments and technical guidance.
  • School testing coordinators provide classroom-level timetables and makeup testing arrangements.

Penalties & Enforcement

Official district and state pages primarily publish schedules and policies; specific fines or statutory penalties for missed statewide student assessments are not specified on the cited pages. Enforcement is typically administrative: schools, district assessment offices, and KDE oversee test administration, attendance coding, and reporting rather than criminal fines. Where numeric penalties or sanctions exist they are stated in official legislation or district policy documents; if not listed on the assessment pages, they should be confirmed with the district accountability office or KDE.[1]

If a student misses a required assessment, contact the school immediately to arrange makeup testing.
  • Enforcer: School test coordinator, district Assessment Office, and KDE Assessment & Accountability branch.
  • Appeals/review: district-level review processes or KDE inquiry; specific time limits for appeals are not specified on the cited pages.
  • Fines/fees: not specified on the cited pages for student testing schedules.
  • Non-monetary sanctions: attendance record notations, required makeup tests, or administrative corrective actions as set by district policy.

Applications & Forms

Most testing schedules do not require a public application; schools handle signups and makeup test arrangements internally. If a formal form is required for exemptions or special testing accommodations, the district assessment office or school counselor publishes that form. The presence and name/number of any such form are not specified on the cited assessment pages.[1]

How-To

  1. Open your school’s website or parent portal and look for "Testing" or "Assessment" under Academics.
  2. Compare the school calendar with the KDE statewide testing window to identify mandatory state assessment dates.
  3. Contact your school testing coordinator or counselor to confirm classroom schedules and makeup testing plans.
  4. If you need accommodations, request forms from the school or district assessment office as early as possible.
Contact your school's testing coordinator for confirmations.
