ImPACT test days set for Witt-Birn athletes

Five dates in August are set for Wittenberg-Birnamwood fall athletes needing an ImPACT test.

Athletes should check their fall sport registration letter to see if they need the test. If athletes do not have the letter, email Chris Nier, Wittenberg-Birnamwood High School’s athletic director, at cnier@wittbirn.k12.wi.us.

Nier will be at the high school to administer the tests.

Aug. 3 is the first scheduled date for testing, with times of 7, 8 and 9 a.m. Testing will take place at the same times on Aug. 4.

Another round of testing will take place Aug. 11 at 7, 8 and 9 a.m.

The fourth day for testing is Aug. 17, again at 7, 8 and 9 a.m.

The final day to test is Aug. 24, with times of 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.

Tests will start at the beginning of each hour listed. If athletes show up in the middle of the time slots, they will have to wait until the next hour.

Nier believes the testing will take place in the high school’s library. Athletes are to bring their Chomebrooks.

Any questions can be emailed to Nier.
