The state-mandated LEAP 2025 tests will begin next Wednesday, April 2. The scores on these tests are significant to students and Bienville Parish schools. These test results become a part of students’ permanent records and help determine the School Performance Scores. For high school students, passing scores on these tests are required for graduation.

Saline students have consistently performed exceptionally well on the previous years’ tests. To improve students’ chances to do well, they should eat well and get plenty of rest the night before each testing session. It is crucial that children attend school and arrive on time during the testing week. A student absent for both the test and the make-up test must have a letter from a doctor on the doctor’s office letterhead, with the doctor’s original signature, stating the dates and reason for absences. The dates on the excuse must be inclusive of all testing and make-up dates.

Do not cause undue concern by putting too much pressure on children to do well on these tests. Encourage children to do the best that they can. 

The schedule of testing is as follows. 

3rd Grade – April 2-9
