Skyway Resource Center Survey
Thanks to community advocacy and with the acquisition of the former US Bank Building, the Skyway Resource Center is now planning for its permanent home! Building on prior work and looking forward to making this a reality, RIZP would like to start by getting the community's input on this next step. Please enter your input at the following link:

Smarter Balanced Fall Assessment | 4th + 5th Grade
The fall 2021 SBA will be shorter than it has been in previous years. All tests have been shortened to be administered in a single online session. For SBA math and English language arts, students will take only a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) and not have a Performance Task (PT). The English language arts SBA is estimated to take 75 minutes and the math SBA is estimated to take 60 minutes. The tests remain untimed, so individual student testing times will vary. The fall tests are an extension of the 2020–21 school year, and thus students will be taking tests corresponding to their grade level in the 2020–21 school year. For example, a student who is a 4th grader in the 2021–22 school year would take a 3rd grade test in fall 2021.
*Please note that students in grades 3rd-5th will take the 2022 SBA this spring.
