We are rewarding all students who complete the SBAC practice test over will receive a BLUE S.O.A.R. Card - worth 2x the value of the typical Gold Card. The BLUE S.O.A.R Card grants students access to the Hawk Store and treats like cotton candy, popcorn, and shaved ice. We want to set these students up to have a successful SBAC test and we feel that staying sharp over the break will help do so. State testing will begin the week of April 19th once they return from break and will continue the following two weeks.

Thank you for your support!
