***Please note, these days have been determined around approved MVPS school events. Where approved MVPS sports ‘clash’ with in-school assessments, we will work with the PE team and classroom teachers to provide an alternate sitting session.

Technical requirements for ICAS:

Headphones:

Students are to bring their own headphones for the tests and/or connectable Roger device.

iPads and required app - Janison Replay:

Year 3 students will be provided with a school owned iPad on the morning of the ICAS assessment to use during this time. This will be fully prepared for them in advance.

Year 4-6 students will need to use their own iPads during the ICAS period. Please make sure that all iPads are charged the night before to avoid issues on the test day. In addition to this, Year 4-6 students who are completing the Writing and/or Spelling Bee will need to have installed the ‘Janison Replay’ app on their device BEFORE Tuesday 8th August.

You will find installation guides regarding Janison Replay at this website: https://www.icasassessments.com/support-technical-requirements/
