Information About Yearly PEAKS Testing

Each spring, schools give the statewide assessment to students in grades 3-10. This test provides students the opportunity to show their understanding of important skills in English language arts, mathematics, and science at their grade level. In most cases, YKSD students will take this assessment on a computer.

PEAKS testing window will occur between March 26 and April 27, 2018. More detailed information about spring 2018 PEAKS testing, including grade levels and windows, will be updated as it is provided by the State of Alaska.

 

Ways to Help Your Child

  • Talk to your child about testing. It’s helpful for children to understand why schools give tests. 

  • Encourage your child. Praise him/her for the things they do well. If your child feels confident, he/she will likely do their best on a test. Children who are afraid of failing are more likely to become anxious about test taking.

  • Ensure your child attends school regularly. Testing days are important days to be at school on time to allow for the least stressful testing experience for your child. Avoid scheduling appointments on testing days.

  • Help your child get a good night’s sleep the night before a test.

  • Eat a healthy breakfast the morning of a test. Hunger can distract a child from the task at hand.
