5th Graders began state testing last week taking the OAKS 5th Grade Science. Some students will retest in May, if their scores did not Meet the state standard.
This week 5th & 6th graders are taking the Smarter Balance Assessment (SBA) English Language Arts (ELA) Computer Aided Test (CAT).
Practice tests for the upcoming SBA Performance Task(PT) and SBA Math are available through this link. I highly recommend going over the practice tests with your student, so you can see the type of work they are performing on these tests. Any extra time spent on the practice tests will benefit your student.

Student-Lead Conferences:
Student lead conferences are Thursday/Friday - April 7-8. All of our students will be presenting their portfolios to their parents in a conference format. This is an incredible opportunity for you to sit down with your student, review the work they have done this year, and set some goals for this spring and next year. Students will lead his or her own conference with a teacher in attendance to assist as needed. Sign up sheets are located outside the school office.
