SBA Testing: As shared earlier in a letter from our district Teaching and Learning office, our state assessment window is opening in May. For our elementary students in grades three through five, the Math and English Language Arts SBAs (Smarter Balance Assessment) will take place during the weeks of May 1st and May 8th and the Science test will be administered during the week of May 18th. Students will not be testing every day and there are make-up days for those students who may need them due to missed days or more time.
Reminders:
Please make sure students have charged their chromebooks every night. This is very important as there are no extra chromebooks for students to use.
Students will need headphones. If you have a pair at home that your student is comfortable using, please send them in each day or they can keep them at school. If they do not, we will provide a pair for them.
Make sure your student gets a good night's sleep and eats breakfast each morning so they are ready to do their best.
Thank you CPM PTA for our awesome playground benches!!!
