We needed an eagle at the assembly! So, all students who exceeded CMAS last year got a chance to SLIME Mr. Hannon. And then he was feathered!

CMAS Testing Dates
Our annual state student assessments begin in March. This year PK8 students will be taking CMAS (3rd-8th grade Language Arts and Math and 5th & 8th grade Science) tests. Each scheduled day of testing will include one online testing session of approximately 60 minutes.
7th Grade: March 29-31, April 3-5
6th Grade: March 29-31, April 3-5
5th grade March 21-24, 27-28, April 12-14
4th Grade April 6-7, 10-13
3rd Grade April 6-7, 10-13
Students will only take one test on each of these days in our tech lab (unless they must take make-ups). Our experience tells us that students test better with their class, so please try and schedule around these dates.
Our school needs to have a 95% participation rate or higher. This supports our final school rating. Please send your child with a snack on each day of testing. Student results inform our instructional reflection and planning for next year. Your data makes a difference in our school level decision-making!
