All High School Athletes must complete the ImPACT baseline test. This year, we will have students take the ImPACT baseline testing at home, in order to minimize the use of shared spaces in the computer labs. The test should be completed by the individual student and no one else. The ImPACT test should be completed in a quiet area with no distractions. Cell phones should not be in the student's area while they are completing the test. It is very important for the student to read all of the attached instructions before beginning the test, as well as all of the instructions given throughout the test. The ImPACT test must be done using a desktop or laptop computer with a hand-held mouse attachment. If you do not have access to a desktop computer or laptop with a hand-held mouse, please contact Olivia via email.
