ISEE Tickets for this Saturday’s Exam

Exam is Saturday, November 2nd
9:00 am, but arrive by 8:15 am

Attention 8th grade and 6th grade parents: For those who are taking the ISEE on Saturday, which is the entrance exam for the three BPS exam schools, you will need to have your student bring their admissions ticket and school ID.

These were given to your 8th today and will be distributed to your 6th graders tomorrow.

Below is the full note from our School Counselor Sue Trotz:

Today [Tuesday], all 8th graders received their ISEE ticket and school ID (sheet of paper with name, address, description with school seal).

Tomorrow [Wednesday] all 6th graders will receive their ISEE ticket and school ID.

Review the ticket for the location of the test site.  Many students will take it at the Curley, however some will have to take it at other test sites.

If for any reason you are not able to attend the November 2nd test, there will be a make up test on November 16th at the John D. O’Bryant School at 55 Malcolm X Blvd., Roxbury.

I’m recommending a good night sleep, have a good dinner and breakfast and arrive by 8:15am. The test starts at 9:00am.

So, remember to have your student bring the following:

  • Your ticket
  • Your school ID because this is the form of ID the student may use
  • Five number 2 pencils
  • An eraser

The best of luck to all our students!
