Smarter Balanced (SBAC) Testing
SBAC Testing (April 10th - May 12th)
SBAC testing begins for 3rd grade next week. The Smarter Balanced Assessment System will provide parents and students with more accurate and actionable information about what students are learning. Since these assessments are computer adaptive, they will provide increased information about the needs and successes of individual students. These next-generation assessments are aligned to the Montana State Standards in English language arts/literacy and mathematics for grades 3-8. For more information on the SBAC testing process please visit the following link: http://www.smarterbalanced.org/parents-students/.
