LEAP INFORMATION The Department of Education has created a Tutoring Hotline leading up to the March LEAP exams for 4th and 8th graders across the state. The Department sent practice books to every school in Louisiana with the recommendation that students complete several lessons each night at home in the days leading up to the test. Tutors will be available to help students who need assistance on those questions from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, from February 1 to March 7. The phone number is 1-877-453-2721. Students may also visit the Department of Education's website, http://www.louisianaschools.net and go to our LEAP/GEE Help Center for further assistance on the March exams. They will find programs such as PASS, which provides students with practice questions and online tutorials for each exam. Also, Newton's classroom is a fun site that can be used to help students sharpen their math skills. LEAP, iLEAP and GEE exams will be given the week of March 10 in all public schools in Louisiana. Individual results will be released in May. Those results, calculated with attendance and dropout rates, make up the School Performance Scores which will be announced in the fall.
