SBAC Testing Schedule
This month, we will begin to administer the Smarter Balanced Field Test to students in grades 3, 4, 5. The SBAC Field Test will expose students to Common Core Mathematics and English/ Language Arts questions and problems. Although testing is scheduled over a three-week window for each grade level, each student will be administered a computer-based assessment on only four mornings.
Please see our ADJUSTED SBAC testing schedule below due to the SBAC delay.
