SBA SBA

Thank you for your continued support with SBA. We will continue testing May 12th - 14th using our Testing Bell Schedule.


Tuesday, May 12th - Thursday, May 14th: Testing Bell Schedule - SBA Math and SBA completion


• Please try to not pick up your student during the scheduled testing time, as we need to limit classroom interruptions
• Students will be mostly testing in their advisory groups, but some students will be notified that they are testing in an alternate location
• Please have your student bring hard-wired headphones. They should bring them every day we are SBA testing
• Students should charge their Chromebook every night, and bring their charger for their device
• It is also important to get a good night's rest and eat breakfast prior to testing, or bring a light healthy snack if need be
• Students should bring a book to read if they finish testing early


Tuesday, May 19th - Friday, May 22nd
• We will be assessing test completion rates and plan to hold SBA makeup testing daily based on student completion (we will not be using the Testing Bell Schedule this week).


Thank you!
