IMPORTANT!

Please be aware that SBAC testing will take place for students from April 30 - May 29.  Students should really practice using the tools on the SBAC site as frequently as possible.  There is a great practice test that students can use at:

http://sbac.portal.airast.org/practice-test/

Students will need to sign in as a guest and select their grade.  Because they are signing in as a guest, their work is not saved when the link is "X"ed out.  However, students can skip through the questions they have already completed the next time the go on the site.

Please speak to your child(ren) about how important this test is and various ways to prepare for standardized testing.  You may find these sites informational:

Also, if you would be willing to provide students with a healthy testing snack, please let me know.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.  THANK YOU!
