Dear Parent/Guardian,

All graduating seniors at the Natchitoches Parish Technical and Career Center are required to pass their Leap 2025 exams. If your senior is taking English I, English II, Algebra I, Biology, or U.S. History this semester, they will be expected to pass one English, one math, and either the biology or U.S. History exams as a condition for graduation by the state of Louisiana. If your student does not test, he/she WILL NOT graduate. Testing will be the week of April 18, 2023 – April 20, 2023. Seniors testing for English I, English II, and U.S. History will begin at 8:00 a.m. Seniors testing for Algebra I will begin at 10:00 a.m., and testing for Biology will begin at 12:00 p.m. Please make sure your child arrives 15 minutes prior to the start of their testing time.

Leap 2025 for 9^th – 11^th grade students will be between April 24, 2023 – May 12, 2023, and 4^th – 8^th grade students will be the week of May 15, 2023 – May 19, 2023. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. each morning. If you child does not arrive to school on time, he/she will not be allowed to test, and will have to test on a make-up test day. Make-up testing dates are April 27^th, April 28^th, May 4^th, May 5^th, May 11^th, May 12^th, May 18^th, and May 19^th.
