Our annual SBAC testing is just around the corner. The SBAC and CAST notification letter to families was sent out via Parent Square to all parents/guardians with students in grades 3-8. See testing dates below and help your students be as successful as possible by having them practice the test at home!

Spangler Testing Schedule:

• April 22nd-May 3rd: 6th Grade ELA/Math
• May 6th-May 17th: 4-5th Grade ELA/Math
• May 13th-May 24th: 3rd Grade ELA/Math, 5th Grade Science

How to Access the Smarter Balance Practice Test at Home:

• Go to Practice & Training Test at http://www.caaspp.org/.
• Once you get to the Online Practice and Training Tests Portal pick the student interface practice training test. (The green one)
• Make sure both guest user and session is ON.
• Pick your student's grade on the drop down bar. It will bring your screen to all the correct grade level practice tests. You may choose any test to practice. We encourage students to practice to get exposure to the types of questions and using the tools.

Remember, getting practice with the tools will better prepare them for the actual test this spring. Thank you for your support. Please contact Ms. Ravo at kravo@musd.org with any questions or concerns.
