This month the students will be taking the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment (SBAC). The SBAC is an assessment to measure growth and achievement. The computerized test is adaptive and measures students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The students will take a computer
adapted test (CAT) and performance task (PT), for English-language arts (ELA), and mathematics.
Parents can help prepare their children for testing by making sure they get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and bring a nutritious snack.
