IMPACT Testing
ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment & Cognitive Test)

Instructions for Baseline Testing
All Thayer Academy students must take the computerized ImPACT baseline test every 2 years. The test can be completed on a home computer and takes about 30 minutes.
ImPACT is a simple cognitive assessment tool that helps health care providers to:
- Assess for concussion after a student sustains a head injury.
- Guide a student-athlete’s safe return to play.
Before beginning the ImPACT test, the student should:
- Be supervised by a parent/guardian when taking the test.
- Have access to a computer with an external mouse. (A laptop can be used as long as the student is also using an external mouse. TouchPad and TrackPoint will not work for this test.)
- Close out of all applications except the ImPACT site within your internet browser.
- Turn off the pop-up blocker in your internet browser. (The test will not launch if the pop-up blocker is on. Be sure to turn the pop-up blocker back on when you are finished.)
- Ensure that the testing environment is free of noise and other distractions. You will need to concentrate and exercise your memory.
- No Talking. No cell phones. No sound on the computer.
Steps to begin the test:
- Go to the ImPACT Online Test site – https://www.impacttestonline.com/htmllauncher/
- Enter the Customer Code E44CVM3UES
- Click “Launch Baseline Test.”
- Choose your preferred language to take the test. (English is the default).
- Answer the questions about “demographic information” and “current symptoms and conditions.” Note: # of years completed in school = your year in September minus 1. (e.g., If you're entering 9th grade in September, the number of years completed = 8).
- Proceed with the test.
- At the end, when prompted, be sure to include your email address and athletictrainer@thayer.org to be sent a confirmation that includes an identifying “Passport ID.”
Once the test has been completed, parents must log into Magnus Health and enter the date of the completed test.
If you have questions about taking the baseline ImPACT test, please contact the athletic trainers (athletictrainer@thayer.org).

What is a team parent?
Historically at the varsity level, captains’ parents plan team events and organize a food/drink schedule. However, these events and schedules are welcome at all levels (JV and Thirds) so that these athletes can have the same bonding experiences. If a parent is interested in helping the team in this manner, please reach out to the coach. Click here to read about Team/Captain's Parent Guidelines.
What are team dinners?
Team dinners are a wonderful tradition at Thayer in which team members gather at a student’s house, a restaurant, or Thayer as a team bonding experience. Often organized at the varsity level, they are welcome at the sub-varsity level as well. If you are interested in hosting or simply coordinating a dinner, please reach out the team parent or coach. Events include potluck dinners, pizza or pasta parties, and team breakfasts before a game. Please ask for volunteers to host with all families contributing so that it is not a burden on the host family. These events can be held at school if transportation for underclassmen is a concern. To reserve an on-campus space for an event, please contact Barbara Browne (bbrowne@thayer.org or 781.664.2268).
What is an End-of-Season Team Banquet?
These are banquets arranged by team parents, in coordination with the Head Coach, to celebrate the season. They are held at local restaurants, students’ homes, or at Thayer. Most often organized at the varsity level, they are welcome at the sub-varsity level as well. If you are interested in helping with a banquet, please reach out to the team parent or coach. Please feel free to reach out to all parents for their assistance or contributions as these should not be a financial burden to team parents. These events can be held at school if transportation for underclassmen is a concern. To reserve an on-campus space for an event, please contact Barbara Browne (bbrowne@thayer.org or 781.664.2268).

You are allowed to drive your child home from a game or your child can leave with another student after informing the coach.
Does my child have a locker in the locker room?
Does Thayer wash uniforms?
Does Thayer provide snacks and drinks for the practices and games?
How do I find information about spring trips?

Does Thayer have an athletic trainer available if my child gets hurt or needs advice?
