Starting this coming Monday (April 21), the 3rd through 5th graders will be taking the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBAC). The SBAC is replacing the CMT. Testing will occur during the next 3 weeks - 2 weeks of testing and 1 week of make up tests. This is the first year we are taking the test. It is a field test - kind of like a practice test for the test makers. By participating in the field test, we will get a better understanding of the new test, its format, and how the students work through it. This will help us prepare for next year, when the test will be live. I am unsure as to how any scores will be reported.
It is important to make sure your child eats breakfast every morning (at home or at school) and gets plenty of sleep each night.
If you have any questions, please let me know. This is everyone’s first time taking/administering this test, so it will be a learning experience for every one.
Have a wonderful weekend!
